A little historical note...In the not so distant past, men smoked cigars and pipes in the fine living room areas of the home and that is where these beautiful pieces usually hung.

So all of my needlepoint pieces are cleaned and any necessary tiny repairs are done, most are in exceptional condition, but do need cleaning.













These bells are all Danish and made prior to 1940. They are all in working condition, solid brass with ringers.





Cast brass bell with ringer.





The bell, how it works and how to attach it....

Shown at left is the mechanism which rings the bell and which is used to attach the bell to the top piece of bell pull hardware. Just unwrap the little look gently, sometimes it looks more like a hook and press around the top hanging hole of the bell pull hardware. I often use needlenose pliers very gently to do this.



The bells are all solid cast brass and in working order.
