...hmm interesting family is mainly teacher goin back a few generations so make a sense we'd have a school bell some how

Stole it?…:)

Fun. We have two family bells on our farm. My Mother says when they heard WWII was over they went out and rang the bells and so did all their neighbors.

Grandparents bought and sold antiques, they had a couple bells on the place. they used to call us kids in at lunch and dinner with them

Do some research, get a yoke and hang it up in your yard.

There was a large bell in the center of the little town which I grew up in.
Whenever we won a little league game, the whole team would run down to the town center to ring that bell, then we'd all go to the Tasty Treat for ice cream cones courtesy of the coach. Great memories of days gone by.

The amount of happiness and raw choking emotion people felt then must have been amazing.
