Exceptional TOC c. 1892 New Departure pre-patent bell

[lgrinnings]

Here's a wonderful early circa 1892 cast, nickel-plated New Departure Ladies' Rotary No.2 double chime bell. Ideally-sized at 2 3/4" in diameter (the Gents model is a full 3") and fairly heavy at just over half a pound. Functions perfectly and rings loud and true. Complete with bracket and screws. Some minor scuffing and spots of nickel loss due to being almost 130 years old. Inner works stamped "PAT. AP'LD. FOR". An exceptional, early New Departure piece. Clean it up or leave as-is to show some age. Perfect and correct for your earliest TOC pneumatic safeties. $345 shipped in the US. Payment via PayPal family and friends is preferred.

Please review pictures closely and message me if interested or with questions.
