Object Description
A tabletop bell made of brass. Also known as a "shopkeeper's bell" or a "hotel bell." The bottom section of the bell is weighted and sits upon a counter. On top of this, inside the resonance cup, are gears. When the top notch is turned these gears clink together to make the bell ding.
Origin
Service bells such as this one were found most often at the end of the 1800's. This bell was taken from the schoolhouse that Peter Barbatsuly attended. He was born in 1926, so the bell must have resided in the schoolhouse for many years previously.
