They actually still have these exact same bells with the same mounting plate at one of the middle schools in my city, being rebranded by some other company instead of IBM. But they've all been disconnected and painted over, and they now just use the tones.
They STILL have those bells at one of the middle schools in my city. They all run off a newer Simplex 6400 master time panel (most of the clocks are also IBM, with a few Simplex ones too).
There's a junior high school near my house that used to have those school bells. But they are long gone now, they replaced it with a tone over the new PA system made by Simplex. They also used to have an Edwards fire alarm system with 360-L horns, but was replaced with a Simplex 4100U voice-evac system
They had these in my ES too, except it was just the bell and the mechanism (no trim plate). They were used for both the class bells and the fire alarm (4-4 candace, single-stroke). The school is no longer in use anymore.
I'm in my garage. I had the doors open so that the sound could escape, but what you see in the background is my backyard, and as stated, the bell is 115VAC, so I am plugging it in to make it ring.

They had this model bell at my elementary school. They've since been replaced by a tone that comes from a Simplex intercom system.
