Offered is this very nice Utica Fire Alarm Company cast iron fire alarm box. This box is HEAVY and is not the cheap aluminum boxes that you most often times see. It is box number 14 and it retains the original number plate on the front. The box is in very good condition. T is some surface rust, but t is nothing that wont sand off. The box has the original key guard (cole?) with it. It appears that t was an attached key inside the lock, however, part of it was broken. The box is still able to be opened. The inner box is missing the glass covered mechanism. These can be easily purchased and replace if you would so desire....Allentown is coming! The box is very ornate and deco looking with the columns on the side and the large bell in the top center. The bell has some awesome lightning bolts coming from it, much like a Gamewell box. The box door is also a very nice rounded shape, not your typical square and boring door. I do not know much about the provenance of the box, other than I purchased is from an estate in the Central Square, NY area. The last Utica box that I see sell at auction was last year in a fire alarm equipment auction and it sold for $1500.00. Since this one isnt perfect, it could be a steal for an advancing collector!! Any questions, please do not hesitate to ask!! **Please check out our other items for more
