Gamewell Fig Leaf 8\" House Gong - June 1881 Pat - Boston Automatic Fire Alarm Co:
$1576.00

Real nice Gamewell Fire Alarm Telegraph Co. \'fig leaf\' style house gong. Most recentpatent date of June 7, 1881. Cherry wood. Not oak. Does not have a Gamewell tag on the front.

Very nice Gamewell signed mechanism, wood case is stamped B.A.F.A. Co. See photos.

At one time had a B.A.F.A. Co. tag on the front, or so it looks to me. I purchased it as is and have enjoyed it for many years. Downsizing my collection a little.

BAFA was the Boston Automatic Fire Alarm Company. Either a BAFA or a Gamewell tag would look fine and be correct on this. Solid piece. Very nicely made. Great example of an early fire alarm telegraph mechanism in a wood case. Bell is solid with a nice ring to it. Original glass and glazing compound. Wires and coils are in nice shape. Does not have a winding key or a door lock key. Takes standard Gamewell keys, the door lock is of the hollow end or drilled end type, and the winder takes what I would cal a \'medium\' sized batwing, approx 3/16\".

8\" bell. Overall 22\" high and 12\" wide. Approx 15+ pounds. Will ship at 16 lbs +.

This will ship UPS. I will package it well. Typically I ship a wood house gong as wrapped in bubble wrap, and then in a box filled with shipping peanuts, inside of another box filled with peanuts. Expect a fairly large box to be delivered, at least in the 2\' x 2 1/2\' range. A signature will be required. All sales are final. Payment by PayPal.

If you have any questions, please askbefore offerding. Good luck.
