Ghost Town Find

[I am Ironman]

Found this Barber Half in a ghost town in Florida. An old flag stop on the Flagler rail. My best coin to date. Haven't been able to ID the old bell yet, but also a ghost town find. The silver rosie and tree face eyeball were found in a park.

Thanks to everybody for the warm welcome. Great site. Long time visitor first time poster.

I failed to mention the Irish half penny which is pictured. Also a park find.

The bell is about an inch and a half tall and has decorative markings along the side as seen in the picture. No other identifying marks I can see. I believe it is brass or bronze. The ghost town was established by Scandanavian immigrants in the early 1900s. A friend says it resembles Indian bells that his mom collects but that doesn't seem quite right. Any help with an ID would be great.

Hey Ironman,

Greetings, and about time you got here. I'd sure like to see mo'betta photos of the "eyeball" and bell. What's up with that eyeball? What does the back look like?

Continued success...

Thanks Surf. The eyeball is a novelty item they sell for trees. As seen below. The back is flat.

I will try to get a better picture of the bell when I get a chance.

Is the little bell decorated? Or am I seeing things?

Decorative markings as far as I can tell, no writing.

Looks like an oriental bell, maybe from a chinese chime, can't find a match with the polygonal loo, but the lip that looks like petals is common
