Mechanical Door Chime

Description

 PIC 1 SHOWS THE 4 CHIMES ABOUT 1" IN DIAMETER BETWEEN 43 AND 57 " LONG.  PIC 2 SHOWS THE BACK COVER MADE OF SHEET METAL.  PIC3 SHOWS THE FRONT OF THE BOX, THE LEVER ON THE RIGHT IS PULLEDDOWN TO "WIND" THE UNIT.  PULLING THE CHAIN AT THE BOTTOM CAUSES THE CHIMES TO SOUND.  THE CHIMES HAVE HOLES IN THE TOP THAT I ASSUME HAD A WIRE THAT RAN THROUGH THEM AND ATTACHED TO THE SCREW ON THE TOP BAR OF THE BOX.  THE MECHANISM IS ALL BRASS.  I'M NOT SURE WHAT METAL THE CHIMES AND FACE PLATE OF THE BOX ARE MADE OF.  IT IS NOT PICKED UP BY A MAGNET AND HAS NO SIGNS OF RUST.
