You know it helps if you turn them over LOL!!! I looked on the bottom, it's a Telegraph Recorder..

I think i have a few Game Well fire alarm boxes around here somewhere, at least i think i do, they have that same logo on them...

Thanks for replies everyone!

Thanks KC, we bought this one at that big auction in IL last weekend and there was two of them there. The guy who bought the other one paid $1'300.00 ??? He was from the show pickers or something, i can't remember... That was a KILLER auction though!!!
