This piece is a precursor to what we now know as doorbells, which themselves are beginning to be phased out in favor of Ring and Nest Cams.

The smaller piece with the lever would have been pulled up and let go so the porcelain knob would strike the bell and announce a visitor. Exhibits minor signs of wear
