Anyone know when this was made? Looks pretty old. Also seems to be missing its winding handle.

Don’t quote me on this, but it looks like that it was built in the 1950s.

Early 1920’s 1924-1925 or so…sorry to bump an old thread but I’m a municipal fire alarm telegraph collector. This is a Gamewell porcelain coated steel inner box for what would likely be a cast iron Gamewell fire alarm box. Here’s an example of one of mine.

This is so cool!
