You have an antique hand crank door bell. You are just missing the key part that would be on the outside of the door. I just sold one on eBay. Cool one you got there. HH

Woo Hoo! I'm a pretty new member and this is my first confirmed ID on an item. Sorry, but I'm pretty excited. I just sold a different one on frenzy that had all the parts for 40 bucks. HH
