John Deere cast iron farm bell vintage 13 inch diameter 8 inches tall

By leannaglasgow, 7 February, 2015
Description

Cast Iron Bell and clapper, The mouth of the bell is 13 inches in diameter. It stands about 8 inches tall. The words "John Deere" and an emblem of a tractor is raised. I truelly rescued this piece from the scrapyard.. I have been unable to find any kind of date on the bell. But i havent finished cleaning the inside of the bell yet... From my research, I believe the bell to be from the late 1800's to early 1900's. But I have no way to know that for sure. I am unsure what to do with the piece to make it worth the most, leave it as is, or do more cleaning and touch ups on the paint.

Hi

Don't touch up the paint!

leave it as is, please.

Collectors/decorators want things as original as possible, you will de value it by changing it
