How about we put in models of rare alarms. I know a few. Standard electric light plates, Standard Electric remote lights, Simplex 2904s, Simplex 2903 dual bulb, Simplex 4901-9001 light plates, Wheelock EHS with the 7002T style strobe on top, and the Gamewell pulls like NewAgeServerAlarm has in his mini system test 11.
Here’s a rare alarm.
Gamewell discontinued them, maybe 100 or so years ago. Not that many remain…
What is it?
It’s a Gamewell repeater. It relays the alarm signal from the masterboxes.
BTW, I meant this as a joke.
Oh
How is it a joke
I think I have a few pictures of alarms that would fall in that category.

Here’s some stuff that’s a bit on the rarer side in my collection (rare meaning it’s not seen in buildings too often and not many people have one)

I was looking at the third one since I remember the one you had (Honeywell rebranded)
Also, to add to the list:
Federal Signal FSS660 (or something like that)
United Security Products FHS24 horn/strobe (7002 knockoff)
I’ve got two more,
Executone C3002 pull stations (they were in the WTC complex 1972-1993).
System Sensor MASS with the electromechanical tone (newageserveralarm has one with about 8 new tones).
System sensor MASS are fairly comon
Destin, what is the Wheelock “slow whoops”?
Are you referring to the http://jjinc24.info/collection/system-sensor/maeh24m System Sensor MAEH?
Its a MASS with a frosted strobe
Here is a rare one I got on Friday:
The black and red version of the 4050 pull station.
This one is model 4051-001T.
Also, two generations of canned smoke from GE / ESL.
The black and red pull station is in great condition!
I have those same pull stations in my church
