Seeking Victor Talking Machine Company Fire Alarm Box


blick068

Recommended Posts

I am a long time collector of vintage Gamewell police and fire alarm boxes and am seeking to acquire a fire alarm box used within the Victor Talking Machine Company factory.  I realize they are scarce, and that most reside in phonograph collections.  I'm hoping someone may have one gathering dust, or can point me in the right direction.  Thanks for everyone's time and consideration, and Happy Hunting!

If you ever want to see an intact 1926 Gamewell system in Detroit, let me know 🙂

 

Sadly, the new fire Marshall just made us pull most of the original boxes off the walls, claiming people might get confused even though they were labelled as non-operational. The boxes are now all in storage but the control board and batteries are still in place.

That's good to hear.....hopefully that will be the plan.   Keep me in mind if you hear of anyone with police call boxes for sale.  I collect and quasi restore those as well.   Thanks for the response!
