Hello all! I have just started collecting and have had a longtime interest in alarms. I have the following devices in my collection:
Left to Right: Uhppote bootleg Fire-Lite BG-12, First Alert CO614 and a Siterwell smoke alarm from Amazon
EXTRAS:
2 First Alert fire extinguishers
Simplex 4251-20 light switch plate in my boiler room
You say “Amazon-rebranded”, but that’s actually incorrect: we don’t know who makes those knockoff BG-12s (yes that’s what they are), but “Uhppote” is one name that’s related to them.
That CO614 is a good CO detector to have I’d say given the design & their rarity (especially in such good condition like yours).
That’s likely a Siterwell smoke detector, made by Siterwell of China: compared to the likes of BRK/First Alert & even Kidde (who aren’t that good quality-wise going by all their recalls) I wouldn’t trust their detectors for actual life safety purposes given how generic & obscure they are (moreso with yours since it’s not branded on the front, might be on the label though).
As for those two First Alert fire extinguishers you have, I think I once had the white model: I got rid of it though because they’re just cheap “trigger”-type extinguishers unlike the others I have, which have actual handles.
Boiler room? What kind of building do you live in that has a boiler/boiler room?
Some houses use boilers for heat. Mine, a three level home (including basement), has a boiler. They are often smaller than a standard furnace as well.
My house was built in 1960 and has a boiler room with a water heater attached to the garage (it used to be in the laundry room until part of it became a bathroom and the other part the garage.)
(Sorry for the double post)
