Ship bell brass, signed 1888 (2.0 kg)

Brass bell with 17cm diameter, full delivery with wall bracket and lanyard for chiming. The bell body is engraved with the year date "1888". Presumably, this date leads back to the launching of a ship, but it could just as well be reference to the Convention of Constantinople that proclaimed the freedom of shipping through the Suez Canal in 1888. This bell has a beautifully clear sound and is a perfect present and rooms decoration. It is manufactured from solid brass.
