Description
THIS IS A 1940 A. E. RITTENHOUSE ELECTRIC DOOR CHIME.
I THINK IT IS EITHER BRASS/COPPER?
IT COMES WITH 4 BARS 583/4, 541/4",461/2, AND 431/2"
A HEADER THAT HAS TWO LIONS ONE ON EACH SIDE, FLEUR DE LEAF ON EACH SIDE, AND A KNIGHT 'S UPPER BODY AT THE TOP CENTER, ALSO HAS ROSETTES, IT FEELS LIKE IT WAS CAST, BECAUSE THE INSIDE IS SMOOTH AND THE OUTSIDE IS DECORATED. THE MOTOR IS INTACT IF NOT A LITTLE DIRTY. THE MOTOR STILL WORKED WHEN IT WAS TAKEN OFF THE WALL. THE MOTOR HAS A STICKER THAT READS
