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.

Gamewell M69
RSG White T-Bar

System sensor MASS are fairly comon

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
