A characterful vintage mechanical bell with a domed metal body, finger-operated loop and exposed internal striking mechanism.
The bell has a beautifully aged surface with genuine patina, wear and oxidation, giving it strong decorative appeal as well as making it an interesting example of early mechanical desk or service equipment.
The finger loop allows the bell to be operated by hand, rather than relying on a conventional top-mounted push button.
Condition: Vintage condition with tarnishing, spotting and age-related wear throughout. Internal mechanism present.
Date: Likely early-to-mid 20th century.
