What about this bell,

Link gives me an error.
Based on what I can read of the link (which should be reposted, flat train), it's a Bryant Zinc bell, more than likely.
They/Them for me, please.

I know but the design is different from the usual design. Also I knew it was a 0666 because it says that.

Well, there ain't much mystery about them here, outside of the questions of how they worked and if any still survived.

Also, worth pointing out how that bell cost $40 in 1911. In today's money, that'd run you out a good $1,082...

Are there different generations for teardrop bells & wrrs mechanicals bells? If so, may I ask the generation of some?

There's three different generations of Teardrops, haven't really noticed any with WRRS bells. And go ahead.

Can't really get a good view of the Teardrop, so IDK what gen it is, other than the fact that it doesn't appear to be a 1st Gen.

WRRS bell just looks like a standard WRRS bell.
