Wells of Aldbourne Servants Intercom Bell IB351

Original, quality late 19th century brass intercom bell with brass mounts, steel springs and a central brass boss. This bell is impressed "R.W" to the inside for the bell founder Robert Wells of Aldbourne in Wiltshire. For use with a tight wire, non-electrical bell system and can be pulled from either left or right. The rear spring is a replacement copied from an original and made to suit. Other parts required to operate this system are usually available in stock. Often now referred to as 'Downton Abbey' bells. The ironwork has been repainted, and the brass polished and lacquered, although the lacquer may be removed at no extra cost. Fully overhauled and complete and in good and working order. Other similar bells may be available on request.
