There are lots of these out there. So there's not much in value here. More sentimental. I paid $160 on Ebay about a year ago. Doesn't work, the bells dont even ring, but its got all the guts inside. Great decorator item! (But was a pain to install on my wall)

hi, i got one just like it on my wall i had for 30 years its all their and the bell works. mine is dated kellogg 1901 if you check behind the mouth piece on the brass part it should have the date on it and where it was made.
I think most of them have that date on the mouth piece, look at the condenser inside the unit, upper right for part date.
The second one of these I've seen here this morning! Nice
modernscavenger thank you! yes they are quite common i guess
