One of the local dealers here asked if I could help identify this and I am completely stumped. It appears to be some sort of external alarm bell, but I have never personally seen anything like this. The large fire sticker seems to be fairly new and I am assuming Skeen was possibly the company that had utilized this at a facility...

It is an electro-mechanical gong with the turtle shell gong installed in reverse. I think probably did this to project the sound from it better than having it turn around with the smooth side out. That is also a type of sounding board or box which it is installed in
Where did you find this?

It is sitting in the office of the local
KME dealer and he asked for some assistance in identifying it
