Vintage Partrick & Wilkins Co Annunciator Call Alarm Box

Description

Vintage & genuine Partrick & Wilkins Co. Philadelphia Pa. numbered annunciator box. Solid oak with glass face, brass needles, gold numbers on black background and reset plunger at bottom. When this was disassembled, the interior wiring was cut as shown, but all components seem to be in tact with manufactures tag attached. No date, but perhaps early 1900's and I believe this is not a butler or hotel call box, rather, it may have been used in a school as part of a fire alarm system. Has some paint marks on the back, otherwise in excellent shape-no gouges, dings or scrapes. Heavy weight at about 9 pounds and measures 10 1/2" x 10 1/2" x 4".
