THANK YOU! for what is certainly the definitive answer to the puzzle.

Of course, . . . . . it is a telephone bell and NOT a doorbell!
I can see how the misunderstanding arose.

When he first discovered the bell it was high up on the hall wall near the front door - without any existing wiring - and assumed, not unreasonably, that it was a doorbell.

Many thanks to all who have contributed to this thread - I'm in awe of the depth of knowledge and scope of experience which are freely shared in here!

Thank you for the helpful information - I took a look at the ringing generator device on eBay - it looks just what is needed.
