Brass Bell

[Larryh86GT]

Hi all.. Here is a brass fire engine bell that I purchased at an estate sale last month. It is a 12" bell that weighs 36 lbs. The original chrome finish on it was pretty shot so I removed the chrome finish and did a lot of polishing. Then I painted the steel bracket fire engine red (which was the original color of the paint on it), and mounted the bell on a nice oak plank. I think it came out pretty good.

Real nice. A great piece like that deserves restoring!
