A great piece of vintage history, (dates to about the 1950s), in unused condition, with scratches and scuffs commensurate with age and storage. It even comes in its original cardboard box! The bell is slightly rusty and corroded in parts. I haven't tried to polish it as some people prefer to see the original patina.

This type of bell was often used as a door opening alarm for shops/post offices as well as to augment the sound of the external door bell in homes and railway signal boxes.
