Rare Smoke Detectors

[quote=93shadow post_id=82705 time=1545162449 user_id=4901]

Here’s an oddball I recovered from my aunt’s former rental home, while she was moving out. For the 10+ years she lived there, I was suspicious as to what it initially was. Only until she moved out, I realized it was indeed a vintage smoke detector. At first, I thought it would have been a hardwired detector, but after removing it from where it was previously mounted, I was surprised that it was a battery operated model.

What’s really odd is the Sears sticker complete with a model, but one guy on Instagram pointed out it’s an ESL, possibly missing its front cover too.

That looks awfully similar to the 1970s NuTone/Scovill alarms with the covers twisted off. Also, I subbed to your channel a while ago. You have some cool things on there!
