Antique Bell Chime Bronze Chinese

This is a beautiful bronze bell. This is the chime type that has no ringer you actually hit this with a mallet. This bell was probably part of a set.

It has a metal holder that is attached to the ring, which i'm guessing was to hand it so it has a nice tone. The design is the same on both sides. The size of the bell is 2.5 x 2 inches, and 3.75 inches tall. The weight is about 9.3 oz. Please keep in mind that most items I sell are old and vintage so there may be some things like odors, or light soiling that might be on the item (mostly cloth and paper items).

I don't smoke, or have any pets, so there usually won't be those type of odors with the items i sell. It really depends on if i can fit all the items you want into the same box. All items are dropped off by me at the post office. I'm not in control of post office, or how fast they deliver something. I usually don't post feedback immediately after a sale.

I know it's important, and very rare i don't leave feedback for a customer. Just be patient you'll get it.

Below are key words and policies of descriptions. Band new items still in the package and never opened are listed as used. In the description i will type new or like new condition. All problems like chips, cracks, manufacturing flaws, and repairs will be listed in the description if it isn't, then there aren't any.

Or something happened to the item after the listing was made. Some of my listings are very old, which means i've had the item for awhile, and they may have gotten dinged while being stored (very rare). It's important for you to look over all the photos, and read the description. I use inches when sizing up items. It may not be exact, but it will be close to the number in the description. Just communicate with me your concerns. If you get your item and i did missed something like a chip, and it isn't in the photos, or description. Just let me know and i'll let you know how i want to handle it.

I do base prices on condition and rarity of items, and sometimes the price would have been the same even with a little ding (most of the time i will give some kind of pricing discount). Sometimes items are bought as gifts, or you like things perfect in your collection and a discount won't do. I do my absolute best to get that type of item to you in one piece. I have bought things that have arrived broken, and know it's very disappointing.

If i know or have an idea of the year i will post it in the listing, but here are some key words i usually use. Old = 50s - 80s. Vintage = 90s - present. Antique = things that are close to or over 100 years (up to 1940s).

Sometimes i use words like art deco, art nouveau, or mid century those are just a style, or era. Most of the time it will be from that era. Bottom line i sell collectible items that many people want. Don't get mad just communicate and we will come to a fair agreement.
