Antique Questions Forum / Old Intercom System
« on: February 20, 2009, 06:25:43 pm »
Hi,
I am new to this site, but I just moved into an older apartment and I am trying to figure out what year this old intercom system that is on my wall is from. The intercom doesn't work, but there is a little bell on it that you can ring, and I'm assuming it rang by itself at some point. I am also hoping that finding out when this intercom was from will help me get a better estimate on how old my apartment is. This is not the best picture of the intercom, but on the intercom it says "Made in U.S.A. by S.H. Couch Company Inc. Norfolk Downs, Mass." I did some research on the company but all I found is that they manufactured things like this intercom, telephones, etc. from the 1800s to the 1970s. Anyone know anything about this intercom or the S.H. Couch Company? Thanks! - Lindsey
