Prepare to be…GOBSMACKED!

In 2018, Blair and his wife, Beth, toured the Cross House.

During the visit Blair made a major discovery. To appreciate today’s post you might wish to first read the 2018 post. And this dramatic Part II post.

I will have some wine while you read.

Thus, since 2018 I have been seeking an annunciator box. Most do not have enough indicators, or they have too much. I needed an 8-10 indicator box.

 

Which I purchased today. And…oh…it gets better. Quite magical, in fact.

 

At the very bottom the lettering reads: ROSS ANNUNCIATOR. And with a patent date of 1894.

 

This is another annunciator but you can more clearly see ROSS.

 

Mt name is Ross.

The Cross House was built in 1894.

My body tingles all over.

 

It looks pristine.

    We wow! (as my Dad would say) what a coincidence, the annunciator was meant to be yours. Looking forward to seeing it installed.
