Know y'all like old stuff so

See folk go nuts every time there a picture with my old anvil or one of these old tractors in it so thought I'd show this old bell we have at the farm. Used to be hung up in the front yard in a little grove of privit I think.

Most of us ARE OLD.

Cool piece. Eric

You are right, and that is a pretty special piece!

What's special about it exactly?

Cool. Do you have the cradle to hang it? I've seen quite a few bells but I can't recall a Sears.

IM not into collecting "old stuff".....unless that was a nice horse head . I saw a lifesize one made of brass years ago. It was detailed and pretty nice.

Otherwise, Im streamlined and dont collect stuff that will clutter up the place... you could clean it up , hang it and use it to call the kids in to supper from the woods

Reminds of of a old Walt Disney movie years ago when I was a kid

It hung on your farm.
As far as collectors not much….

I believe this is what you have

That bell is worn at least a couple of hundred bucks, if it was around here. I think it's cool.

Yes also used in churches. There were many produced,

Marketed by sears,,,,,,,,everyone trusted sears in the day……..

Great family piece,,,,,,, I have most of the memories of the homestead in my collection and would never sell

I have a township school bell, they’re the largest bell in the township and rung to signal the township to start school, they’re pretty cool and loud when rung in a shed by a drunk friend.

Noice…….

My wife has a bell for that!!

Not a church bell or school bell. That's a dinner bell. Rang that at noon to let the hired help know dinner (noon meal) was ready.......time to come in to eat.

yup many places had something like that , it was a return to the house signal.

Wolfie , you should hang it up outside your place

...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.
