| A very fancy antique cast iron and brass mechanical door bell made by Sargent Company of New Britain Ct. Based on the design and other items we have handled that were made by Sargent, I am estimating this bell to be between 95 and 115 years old. The bell is a very unique piece, made with clock like internal parts, it is manually operated by turning a key-like devise that would be mounted on the outside of your main door, directly opposite the bell part of the piece, which mounts on the inside. This was removed from an old New England estate and has a good amount of very nice age patina on the face and is in excellent mechanical condition. Very detailed and ornate, the piece measures five inches wide and has a three and one half inch diameter bell. Included is the ornate brass key device used to ring the bell. It is not original to this bell, but fits and works correctly and is a good match in appearance and quality to this bell. The key devise came from the same estate. We will include a copy of our easy to understand, DIY installation instructions with each bell we sell and remember that Picker's tests all of our mechanical doorbells to be certain they are in good working order and ready for you to install and use as soon as they arrive. |
