Please review all pictures for overall condition and size, as this helps form the overall condition/description of the item. Wear is consistent with age and use. One has a few cracks, the other has one light crack, couple of small holes/chips from age. Both still have original iron clappers.
Both measure 2.09 and both are marked JS and have a on each petal. Excellent design and a rare example of Joseph Shipman's casting work. We believe these date to somewhere around the 1820s/1830s, hard to be exact. We got these from a very old property in rural New Hampshire. Previous owner had them displayed on the wall on the wood/leather strap with a metal bar going through it.
