Original/Fully Serviced Early 20th Century Klaxon with London Trademark. 22441:35. - 22441:35
The English company Klaxon Signals Ltd. has been based in Oldham, England for the last 80 years, with premises also in Birmingham. Klaxons were first fitted to automobiles and bicycles in 1908. They were originally powered by six-volt dry cells, and from 1911 by rechargeable batteries. Later hand-powered versions were used as military evacuation alarms and factory sirens. They were also used as submarine dive and surface alarms beginning in the Second World War. In the first klaxons, the wheel was driven either by hand or by an electric motor. American inventor Miller Reese Hutchison (later chief engineer of Thomas Edison) patented the mechanism in 1908. This excellent example has been fully serviced and repainted in period black paint. The main body is of cast iron with an oak turning handle. The original manufacturers plate is pinned to the body which reads; KLAXON Trademark Req’d KLAXON LTD. 49 Upper Brook St W.1. with a serial No 056k. There is a 3-hole hanging plate-weight 2.5kg. The klaxon is very loud and works as it is intended. The price includes UK delivery. 22441:35. (Bottom shelf stores)
