Re: I think it is a small bell with a peice missing!
It is difficult to tell the actual size of it, one piece looks magnified, the other does not. Got a dime or two you can put next to each piece?

I can tell the second pic is of a bell, though don't know a size, but the first pic is elusive to me. Sorry.

Re: I think it is a small bell with a peice missing!
They were found about 5-6 inches down at our house in Norcross GA. The house was built in 1880. Both of the items were laying next to each other had the same coloring and vdi numbering. It looks like it might be an old hand bell. Each piece has a small machined like hole in it but I could not find the piece that would connect them if there was one.

A bell would have some type of clapper connector on the inside of it, does it?

Re: I think it is a small bell with a peice missing!
Yes there is a connector but the clapper is either rusted out or missing. It is very rusty near the inner top of the bell portion. Any opinions on cleaning it up would be greatly appreciated. Also if anyone would possibly know the make or age of the item. I know it is unlikely with no markings or labels anywhere except for two short straight vertical cuts next to each other on the inside wall of the bell. Thanks again for everyone's time and help!!

I think it's a candle snuffer rather than a bell. Just seems awfully small.

Re: I think it is a small bell with a peice missing!
Thank's everyone for the input. No telling how old it is but the design is still in production and it is definitely a little bell.
