Lot 68:
Description
A lot comprising two different styles of British electric bells. The first unit is a vintage internal call bell or doorbell, constructed with a mahogany-coloured wooden backplate and a matching, removable rectangular cover. The interior displays an electromagnetic assembly with twin copper-wound coils, brass components, and a metal striker. A small white label marked Lot 68 is affixed to the side of the wooden base. The second unit is a larger industrial-style telephone extension bell, featuring a circular metal gong with a grey-painted finish and a dark blue moulded composite base. This unit includes a certification label on the reverse identifying it as approved for use with British Telecommunications systems, bearing the reference S/1000 G/021382. Both items are presented in an unwired state.
