OS School Bell

Description The bell was used at the school house my mother attended as a small child. Best guess is it had been there since very early 1900s. Bell is #3 cast iron school bell made by the OS Bell Co. of Hillsboro, OH. It is 16 inches high with its frame, bottom of bell is 17 7/8 inches in diameter and top of bell is 7 inches in diameter. Parents say to heavy to carry very far. I will work on getting a picture.
