Antique Victorian Solid Brass Mechanical Desk Bell Flywheel Ringing with Wood Base
Offered is a genuine late-19th to early-20th century antique solid brass mechanical desk bell, featuring a large cast brass flywheel, original internal clapper, and hand-mounted hardwood base. This is NOT a modern reproduction. The bell displays authentic verdigris oxidation, period hardware, and heavy cast construction consistent with Victorian-Edwardian era craftsmanship. The bell produces a strong, crisp, resonant ring, and the flywheel turns smoothly, operating exactly as intended over a century ago.

Solid cast brass construction (weighs over 3 pounds). Natural antique patina with verdigris (not cleaned or polished). Mounted on original hardwood base. Period slotted screws & hand-finished components. This style of bell was historically used in mercantiles, hotels, offices, railroads, and industrial settings, and today is highly sought after for industrial décor, steampunk interiors, historic restorations, and serious antique collections.

Weight: 3+ lbs (solid brass). Victorian to early Edwardian era.

Very good antique condition with honest age-appropriate wear. No cracks, repairs, or replacements noted. Patina and oxidation are original and desirable to collectors. Professionally packed to protect heavy brass components.
