Hi Petrina,
that would appear to indicate a very early Regent or Edgware model.
The raised lettering on the keys indicates they are cast in MAZAC, a rather brittle and unyielding alloy.
Don't attempt to bend these keys to adjust them, as they will likely snap.
These early models were made of wood, usually of pretty good quality, whereas in later years all Regents and many Edgwares were made in various plastics.
In the UK production models switched quickly to ringless bells but similar models for the US market kept the bell rings
