The Medfield Fire Department posted the following:

"While performing a smoke alarm / CO inspection of a home for sale the inspector came across this relic. The best we can determine it is from the mid 1970's.

If you or your elderly family members have smoke or CO detectors that are more than 10 years old they need to be replaced.
