The first practical fire alarm system utilizing the telegraph system was developed by Dr. William Channing and Moses G. Farmer in 1852.[2] Two years later, they applied for a patent for their \"Electromagnetic Fire Alarm Telegraph for Cities\". In 1855, John Gamewell of South Carolina purchased regional rights to market the fire alarm telegraph, later obtaining the patents and full rights to the system in 1859. John F. Kennard bought the patents from the government after they were seized after the Civil War, returned them to Gamewell, and formed a partnership, Kennard and Co., in 1867 to manufacture the alarm systems. The Gamewell Fire Alarm Telegraph Co. was later formed in 1879. Gamewell systems were installed in 250 cities by 1886 and 500 cities in 1890. By 1910, Gamewell had gained a 95% market share.[3]

On Apr-21-14 at 16:54:50 PDT, seller added the following information:

The alarm is the warm honey color tone asshown in most of photos. Our ceiling tiles are reflected in the brass bell from above. It does not

have a swirl effect as shown in photos, it is completely smooth. We have received this in the pristine condition that the alarm is in. It looks

to be in original condition but we can not say if it has been refinished. May just be that well kept. Depending on zip code and final value

the shipping would run between $20-$40 if a shipping quote is requested too late.
