Vintage Edwards Air Raid Pull Stations

Mon Jan 06, 2014 5:47 pm

Bought these early last year because I had never seen anything like them before. I knew Edwards made fire stations but not air raid. Lucky enough they stayed as a pair for all there years and are in decent shape. One is working and one is locked up but I haven't yet tinkered with them at all or tested them. Does anyone have any information on these, vintage, age, rarity?

The owner didn't know exactly but they thought around the Pennsylvania area.

Those are VERY similar to the more modern 270-SPO.
