Just thought I’d post a few pictures that I took over the past three years of unusual devices or installations. The last two devices pictured are part of my collection while the rest are devices in actual systems.

Very old single-stroke Edwards bell and light (building was built in 1930 so I assume these are original).

Red remote Simplex light (got it from the hospital my dad works at).

I’ve seen something like that as well, with the same type of pulls (except for the French, obviously) flush mounted into the wall. I know that the newer series of these pulls can be semi flush-mounted, but I’m not sure about these.

3

Typically not a drywallers job to worry about that. If they are there to do a job, they have to get it done.

4

There’s a pull station at work that is surrounded by mirrored panels with slots to attach shelving for displaying flowers.

Awesome pictures; some alarms as rare and uncommon as they are keep getting harder and harder to find. Nice discoveries. 8)

Thanks! Most of those alarms are definitely getting harder and harder to find. I have a few more pics that I didn’t think of including in my previous post.
