After viewing that shirt I have decided to take a break from T Net. I'll be on retreat praying for my gender orientation.

Keep it by your lounge chair, ring it when you ready for a refill, Good luck. Nice find
I guess I should file the sharp edges off then...so it doesn't hurt so much when she shoves it...

I keep a few buckets in the garage to sort out scrap metal. That would go nicely into the brass bucket.

Hey OD, don't feel bad, you certainly aren't alone! I have two of those Indian bells.. I too was expecting something older and more local. I think mine probably came off a more modern wind chime... O well. I still didn't toss em out tho. It's still better than a flip top! lol

Now, ya see, Old Dude, it's all in the perspective. The trouble isn't that the bell wasn't "old". It's that your perspective has changed in gaining years. Even if it is 1972, being as old as you are you still think of 1972 as being just back around that corner. Do you realize!?!?! That is almost a HALF CENTURY ago!?!?!

Nice brass bell, sure beats zincs! Is that a clapper in the crap'er, or the plumber always rings twice?
Lol! Where do you get these pictures!
Cjon find her another bling thing.

I agree with Scrappy Dave, Id' tumble it to within an inch of it's life and hang it on the Christmas tree!
It's still a nice find,
