Vintage break glass fire alarm
In a word: sweet. This was a heavy duty fire alarm break glass manufactured by J.H. Scharff. It bears the letters "ATMO" at the top, but I am clueless as to what this could mean. One thing strange about this is that it is rated 2A @ 120 VAC and 1A @ 120 VDC. Both voltages would be unusual in a fire alarm circuit, unless somehow this also was directly wired to a bell via a closed circuit (hence the convenience of a 120 VAC line in).
