These chimes were made by the J.C. Deagan company, which made a variety of musical instruments, especially percussion. During the 1930s and 40s, chimes like this were carried by porters on passenger railroad cars and sounded to notifty passengers that meal time was approaching. This box is still in very nice condition for its age, though with one of the screw pegs replaced with a modern screw to keep it in place. At some point, someone also added a pair of wall ...hangers on the back for display.
