1950s or 1960s Vanguard Fire Alarm

Description

IEC Vanguard Model V2-25 FT spring operated fire alarm with 174F front fuse.

Provenance

This item was found in my grandmother’s attic. The alarm still works but it does “stumble” at regular intervals as if the spring might be worn or the item survived a fire. The item has a 174F fuse on the front.
