Long Description
I found this in a farm field in the mid 70's in Grafton, Massachusetts. It measures
3 3/4" h. x 2 1/2" w. The bottom seems to be brass. The top has a copper color but it's as hard as the brass is. I've seen similar bells but those all had dates on them. This one does not. Can anyone tell me a little more about it and why it would have been in a field in Massachusetts?Â
History
I found it when I was a kid picking up rocks and chucking them into the back of my uncles truck. He just plowed the field and needed to get rid of the rocks so he could plant crops. It was covered in dirt but I knew it wasn't a rock, cleaned it off and there it was.
