I have it posted on the "What Is It" trying to learn its age and/or origins. It was broken , but I was able to find the pieces and put it back together.

Nice. My wife loves bells and recently picked up an old primary school metal one at an op shop. Guess how she sometimes wakes me up when I sleep in 😖

Nice Save of the bell. This may have belonged to child, who knows, but it's always fun to ponder. Congrat's.

Neat find. It looks to be Christmas-themed, like these:

Those are modern, sold on Amazon, but copied from vintage designs. Yours could be from anywhere in the early to mid-20th Century and I would guess probably post-WWII.

Some were sold as unpainted bisque or chalkware for kids to decorate themselves.
