Early 20th century vintage telephone ringer box. Has no clangers but you can wire a phone to it and make a ring that way. Was painted black at some point in its life. Magneto cranks easily and still operates the clanger so you can still install bells if you want. I used it to make a phone ring during a play so I know it's still good. The magnetos can also be used to make fun scientific demonstrations in class rooms, etc...you can make a bulb light, hook it to a meter, etc.

20 dollars. It's heavy (about 20 pounds) so shipping will be pricey depending on where you are in relation to 01721, but I'll charge the actual amount. Paypal "friends and family" payment is preferred.

Western electric or Northern electric

Probably Western Electric:

(1) Vermilion stamp showing conversion from 300K Sidetone to 400K Antisidetone


(2) Square "catch" for the door screw -- rather than round like Northern Electric or early WE.
