Description

I have a gamewell Fire and Telegraph co Fire Alarm Master box. inside it the alarm box that has a lever one would pull down activating the alarm.  I read this model was used in NYC and called the Excelsior model.  The rooftop of the masterbox has a curved roofline and house on main door where glass would need to be broken to access the key to the alarm box inside.  For the age, the inside part of the alarm's gears actually turn by pulling down the call lever.
