Gamewell Fire Alarm Call Box HOOK TURNS ON LIGHT & TRIPS BOX, & mechanics & key

Description

This auction is for a
Gamewell Fire Alarm Call Box
with a
red light
and a
key
.
This is a beautiful box that has been carefully cleaned, polished, and repainted. The painting is neat and even, without any drips or sags. The raised lettering and logos are crisp. It is highlighted in red and white.
Pulling the hook trips the box AND turns on the light. Pull the hook again to turn off the light.
Note: If the box is not wound, the hook will still operate the light.
The light has a ruby red glass globe. (The glass itself is red: it is not frosted.) It uses a regular light bulb (max: 60w). (Bulb not included.)
The code wheel matches the number on the box.
Before being taken out of service, this box was located on Village Street in Easton, Massachusetts.

Please read this about shipping...
I charge a little more than other people for shipping because I will make sure that your box will arrive safely and unbroken. The shipping fee includes the cost of lots of bubble wrap, the carton, packing tape, and the postage. If available, recycled bubble wrap will be used, along with new bubble wrap purchased just for your box. The inner case will be packed with bubble wrap to support and protect the plastic dust cover. Bubble wrap will be placed between the inner case and the outer shell to keep the inner case door closed during shipping. The red outer door will be locked. The key will be removed from the lock, put in an envelope, and placed behind the little, white pull-down door on the front. The red globe and cage will be removed. The glass globe will be wrapped in bubble wrap and put back inside the cage, and then both will be encased in bubble wrap. The box will be cocooned in multiple layers of bubble wrap. It will all be placed in a large, double-walled, corrugated cardboard carton, packed with more bubble wrap and/or air pillows as needed, and sealed with plenty of packing tape. Insurance will be purchased for the unlikely event of damage. Please allow a few days to prepare it for shipping. The box will be shipped with either UPS or FedEx.
