Telechime |
 |
 |
 |
|
No
brand marks, but its clear that this is a General
Kontrolar/ Telechime product as patent documents
tie this design to Gisbert Bossard and his company.
This mighty chime was removed in the 1970’s
from a home in Dayton OH, coincidently just blocks
from where Bossard lived. Perhaps a personal connection?
Read the weird story of Telechime
on my history page. Original mechanism long gone,
will be replaced with a different vintage 4-bell
mechanism. |
