Condition: antique - works great
Color: On Sale for Mother's Day
Manufacturer: Russell & Erwin
Here is a really neat old late 1800's mechanical doorbell. This large and quite loud on iron bell was made by Russell & Erwin of New Britain Conn. and has a patent date of October 21, 1890. Unlike many of these old Victorian bells you may see for sale, which often are missing a part internally, are broken, or do not have the correct type of operator needed in order to actually work, all the bells we sell at Picker's have been tested and are ready to install and use as soon as you get them. If they are not working , we won't list them.

This bell has a fancy brass button plate and when your visitor's press the button, the pressure activates a spring loaded rod that releases the bell lock and causes the bell to ring for as long as they are holding in on the button. You might think the bell would need to be wound up all the time, but actually it lasted at our shop for days without needing to be wound, even though my 3 year old grandson could not keep his fingers off the button for more than a few minutes at a time. I'm pretty sure that if it outlasted Remy, it will outlast anyone.
All set up to install on a standard two inch thick exterior door. With only one hole to drill and 5 screws to hold both the bell and the button plate in place, almost anyone can install this great antique door bell in a half hour or less..... Really. |
