Brass Hand Bell with Turned Wood Handle, approx. 9"

A solid brass hand bell with a turned wood handle — the kind that called kids in from the yard or students to attention in a one-room schoolhouse. It has a very pristine and precise high pitched sounding "ding". The bell with handle measures approximately 9" tall overall, with a mouth diameter of roughly 5". The clapper is intact and the bell rings. Exterior shows light patina and some surface scratching consistent with age and use, but no dents or damage. The wood handle is clean with no cracks. A good, substantial piece. *Generated with Gavel AI — please ask questions if the description doesn't seem right.
