It is a door bell A nutone k46. They have not made them since the mid 90's
and you can no longer get parts. They were the rage back in the mid '50s
when they came out.

I don't think I ever saw one but I'd love to get just a plain door chime
with 4 or 5 chimes and they ring a short song. Well I love to get one
if it were cheap anyway.
