    I'm not sure if this fits in the metalware or the tools section, so I'll just put it here.

    My grandmother had a good half dozen or so school bells, of which I got some.

    The one in the middle has a stamping on the handle that reads Pat July 22 1873.

    Nice! Ms Ghopper's great aunt was a school teacher, and we have the bell she used. Nice keepsake!
