Up for sale is an exceptional piece of early 20th-century fire service history. This is a heavy-duty, cast-iron Faraday "Break Glass" fire alarm pull station. Unlike the more common aluminum or alloy boxes from later decades, this is the substantial 8.9-pound cast iron model produced during the Faraday/Stanley & Patterson era.

Key Highlights:

• Original Hammer Included: It is incredibly rare to find these units with the original cast-iron hammer still attached by its original chain. Most were lost or replaced decades ago.

• Exceptional Build Quality: Weighing nearly 9 pounds, this box features the "Stanley & Patterson" logo cast directly into the interior door.

• Original Patina: The box retains its classic "Fire Engine Red" finish with honest wear and a beautiful aged patina. It has not been repainted, preserving its historical integrity for the serious collector.

• Numbered Station Tag: Features the original brass "№ 21" tag at the bottom, indicating its specific location in the building where it served.

• Intact Internals: The interior door opens smoothly to reveal the original "Stop Then Let Go" spring-loaded pull mechanism.

Condition Details:

• The box is in excellent vintage condition with no cracks or structural damage to the cast iron.

• The glass pane is missing (standard for these units) and can be easily replaced or left as-is for display.

• All hinges and the pull-lever operate as they should.
