Antique Brass Ship's Bell with Rope Pull and Mounting Hardware

It's also possible that this was a fire bell in Detroit where I was born and raised. My paternal great grandfather was a Detroit Fireman back in the late 1800s. Not 100 % sure if it was his or not.

Eitherway, it's a beautiful bell and has a very loud yet beautiful ring tone. And remember that everytime a bell tolls, an angel gets her wings.
