Unique Salvaged Aluminum and Brass Engine Order Telegraph

This is a unique salvaged Engine Order Telegraph, made from aluminum and brass. We’ve had it in storage for a few months while trying to track down its origins. After extensive research, we haven’t found anything quite like it online.

The piece includes a mix of markings — mostly in English, with a few in Russian. One side of the telegraph has no glass, and it looks like there never was any. The other side has a glass cover over a brass faceplate.

Because this was built as an electrical telegraph, we aren’t sure if the internal bell still functions.

Features:

• Materials: Aluminum housing with brass faceplates
• Markings: Mostly English, some Russian
• Faceplate details: One side glass-covered; the other open
• Electrical design: Bell function currently untested
• Rarity: No close matches found in online archives
