Chubb 950-1000 (I had been looking for one of these pull stations for well over a decade!)

Simplex “2099-9109C” (this pull station is labelled as a 2099-9109C, but this seems to be an error—I think it’s actually a 2099-9117C; courtesy of Conor/CJ9899)

Edwards 270-SPO (older variant with no “fire alarm” lettering; courtesy of Hunter/Canadian alarms)

I also purchased an Edwards 270-DOC (double-pole switch with NO and NC contacts) from the 1970s. While it looks like a typical 270-SPO from the front—it’s practically identical to the 270-SPO pictured above but has “fire alarm” lettering at the top—, it’s quite different inside: it has the partially recessed switch that was used on the original (1950s-1960s) variant of the 270 series, but it doesn’t have the arm to hold the front cover or the metal tab that pushes against the lever. Interestingly, unlike typical 270-SPOs from its era (and similarly to current 270-series pull stations), the lever stops about halfway down upon activation. For reference, here’s a photo showing an original-style (1960s) 270-SPO at the left, the 270-DOC in the middle, and a typical 1970s-1980s 270-SPO (like the one pictured above) at the right:

Finally, Conor kindly offered me a spare Simplex 4006 (with on-board LED annunciation) that he had in his collection; I therefore traded the FireShield he gave me a few years ago for this panel. I particularly enjoy the greater user-friendliness of the 4006 with respect to programming.
