Don’t quote me on this, but it looks like that it was built in the 1950s.

Early 1920’s 1924-1925 or so…sorry to bump an old thread but I’m a municipal fire alarm telegraph collector. This is a Gamewell porcelain coated steel inner box for what would likely be a cast iron Gamewell fire alarm box. Here’s an example of one of mine.
