World War I Antique

 We are going through or collection of stuff seeing what does not need to come with us. I found this World War I antique U.S.N. GAS ALARM.

The USN Gas Alarm Antique is an original period item from World War II, specifically designed by the United States Navy. This collectible piece falls under the theme of militaria, reflecting the historical significance of the era. With a vintage design and origin from the United States, this gas alarm antique serves as a tangible reminder of the sacrifices and precautions taken during the turbulent time of World War II. Condition is pretty good for a device made of wood more than a century old. Three of the clacking parts have minor cracks. There is one nail not fully seated (see pictures). It does not affect functionality. It is still capable of making quite a racket!

As you can see, the U.S.N. Gas Alarm marking is clearly visible. This seems to be branded into the wood, not painted.

Help me not move it. Available on eBay.
