A small vintage bell with big charm—warm brass-tone metal, classic stepped shape, and a satisfying ring when you give it a shake. Use it as a desk bell, entryway accent, holiday styling piece, or hang it by the loop for that old-world “shop counter” vibe.

The interior clapper is intact (photo-verified), and the finish shows natural age/patina that reads beautifully on shelves with wood, books, and brass accents.

 Photo-verified condition, protective packaging standard, and ships in 1 business day.
