Hi all,
While researching my crotal bell find I stumbled upon some information that had me rethink another find it had some while back. What I thought was an old telephone ringer bell turns out to actually be a later Conestoga bell, also known as a Hame bell. I do have an old telephone ringer bell that I also found but comparing them it was obvious they are quite different. The chrome plating on the latter should have been the dead give away.
Typical Conestoga rigs from approximately the 1880s to around 1920.
