So. For anyone who wanted to see the chimes well here you go. Chime system is mostly National Time and Signal 13CF’s but they also have a mix of Edwards Chimes. Also, I’m the person who identified the Natsco Chimes Type-13CF. The chimes are well abandoned with the Bell System and I might be getting a few Natsco and Edwards chimes which if I do, I’ll be the 1st and only known person to own the National Time and Signal & Edwards Chimes. No non will be for sale.
OMG that is so freaking cool
Honestly I don’t really care if they’ll be for sale or not: as long as someone saves them that’ll be great.
Yea. I just said that so I don’t have people begging or asking.

Just joking, very happy someone can save them!
You should donate some to fire museums!
I swear you always say that, don’t think anyone would donate their favorite rare alarms from their collection though…
I think some collectors would donate the rare stuff to fire museums. You should go to oldschoolfirealarms.com and share these photos with Glenn James (guy behind OSFA).
Museums are a good way to both preserve life safety history & allow everyone to enjoy it (not that there are many people who actively seek it out, at least in general).
