Bicycle bell?

[buddyb]

I know it looks like a barnacled sea creature, but I found it in the same area as some CW relics. I was hoping that it was from the same era, but someone said that it looks like a bicycle bell. It is about 2.5 in. in diameter and it is hollow. All of the bicycle bells, that I have seen, are not symmetrical top and bottom like this object. Is it a bell or some other strange object?

Welcome to Tnet buddyb

Just a wild guess, a bandelore or yoyo:

Hi and Welcome buddyb
I like IronSpike's idea of a yoyo, although this crossed my mind - and my taste buds

All kidding aside. Welcome to TN buddyb. Ill go with the bicycle bell. I think I see where the button broke off and also the slot. Where bandelores ferrous? I never saw a steel yo-yo.. But it really too corroded to tell. I dont know if electrolysis will help.

Welcome to TN.

Thanks for the welcome, guys. It must be a bell or a fossilized burger.
