This VanDuzen fire truck bell is in excellent condition, no repairs, cracks, etc. All parts are original to the bell. Bell is 12" in diameter and 11.5" high (bell only). 20" high with bracket and finial. Finial easily screws on and off. It has the top plate that says - "Every few months turn bell slightly so clapper will not always strike in same place" . The bell rope that is attached with a stainless steel shackle is well made. It was varnish...ed and shellacked to make it stiff. There is a brass thimble where the shackle attaches. The base is oak wood that has been stained and varnished. The hardware bolting it to the wood base is stainless steel. You can clearly see in the scan where it says - "E W VanDuzen CO. Cincinnati" I will mail this in 2 boxes to be sure it will make it to you safety. I am charging $100 for postage. But if I can mail this for a less amount I will refund that amount back to you. (unless it is a few dollars) I have had this bell for over 30 years. It may have been re-plated sometime or another. But this is how it looked when I bought it years ago. I added the wood base and the bell rope. You rarely see this bell for sale with the top removable plate. I will only ship to US addresses. If you have a US address outside of the continental US (like Hawaii or Alaska) postage will be a bit more. I only ship to paypal address that are confirmed. Also, I will not ship to drop boxes that eventually leave the country. Keep in mind that eBay now adds a tax for some of the states in the US now.
