Description
- This bell was given to my mother in the mid 1960's, My mother was born in 1958 in New Orleans, Louisiana.
- A very much older lady late 80's or 90's was the person who gave my mother this bell.
- The lady said it was given to her by her father, when she was a little girl, back in Germany.
- The lady moved to the usa from germany, unknown what year, so the lady was born in Germany.
- The bells estimated weight i would say 1 pound 3/4-2 1/2 pounds.
- Brass not sure what percentage, im thinking over 70% because bell is thick and heavy for the size.
- Heighth 3 1/4 in circumference I believe 9.62..? Radius 1.5 in honestly unsure .
- Enscribed on two sides I can't make it out clear enough, It seems to read 12 J. Hann or maybe just Hann.
- opposite side seems more like symbols like a sideways p . Patsiv , the t looks more like an arrow ^.
- also at the bottom external side of bell i believe 3 numbers appear upside down 184.
- This bell was in my house my whole entire child hood and as an adult, my mother gave the bell to me.
