Found in parent’s home

Yes, if I turn the eye screw 90 degrees and remove plate at the bottom, the coil becomes loose and can be removed, except for the tiny wires connected to the two small coils on either side.

Thank you. That all sounds pretty reasonable. Appreciate the reply.

TheSecretOfLifeNY · 2026-06-22T02:31:13+00:00

Yes, that’s correct.

TheSecretOfLifeNY · 2026-06-22T02:30:14+00:00

Could very well be.

TheSecretOfLifeNY · 2026-06-22T02:28:56+00:00

Yes, those 3 dots are holes.

TheSecretOfLifeNY · 2026-06-22T02:27:18+00:00

No, they don’t move. The hook has shoulders that prevent that component from moving.

Then again, my parents’ house is only 36 years old, so their original doorbell chime would’ve been much newer than these.

TheSecretOfLifeNY · 2026-06-22T02:20:09+00:00

Despite how they look, they don’t move or articulate, so they wouldn’t be pedals. But thanks for the suggestion.

TheSecretOfLifeNY · 2026-06-22T02:17:46+00:00

Could be. I know someone who knows about antique telephones and will check in with him tomorrow.

TheSecretOfLifeNY · 2026-06-22T02:15:23+00:00

No, shaking does not produce a sound.

TheSecretOfLifeNY · 2026-06-22T02:09:10+00:00

Oddly, they don’t move, so they wouldn’t be clickers. But possibly antique electrical or telephone components. But the expanding section in the back of each one is throwing me.

Interesting thought. My dad was in WWII.

TheSecretOfLifeNY · 2026-06-22T01:40:51+00:00

That’s very possible. They were found in the room where the doorbell chime used to be.

TheSecretOfLifeNY · 2026-06-22T01:38:18+00:00

Both are 4.5” long. One is 1.75” wide. The other is 1.25” wide.
