A Unique Antique Hand Bell. Would call family to dinner at the Farm. Children to class at the School. Bell Tone is Muted with little Reverberation.
There is a nice patina to the bell. The handle's details and wood grain are beautiful. The Clapper is brass and is attached to the base of the handle. Last 2 photos show 2 cracks. They do not detract from the beauty of this item.
One in the bell, one in the handle. No maker mark so I estimate it was made in early 1900's or earlier.
Cast Brass 10 1/2" Tall 5 1/8" Wide.
