Re: This price seems a little too high...
Not the worst price I've seen on a Crouse-hinds Type-R. Personally I'd say it should be in the $150-$200 range, but it's about where many antique stores typically price their traffic signals...NathanFromEngland wrote:Unrelated, but what a bargain...

I'd actually like to retract that statement,NathanFromEngland wrote:That fella thinks that a Modern Industries mechanical bell is more rarer than a US&S teardrop.
This guy really is taking in the p*ss, he wants $1,800 for this US&S teardrop bell, who claims its never been restored or repainted,and is also missing the bells base. Oh and not to mention that you'll have to go all the way to Pennsylvania if you want to sink in your wallet or max out your credit card for the bell itself, tolls, and gas money.

There's also a video of the bell operating.

Re: This price seems a little too high...
Not quite as expensive as the last teardrop bell, but at $800 it's still a high price for a bell which may not work and has a cracked door. Looks like it was being used as a boat anchor!

$800.00 plus $100.00 shipping for a total of $900.00! Not only is it in despicable condition, but we don't even get any photos of the inside. The description mentions that it can be a "restoration project."

Re: This price seems a little too high...
This guy is asking for a really reasonable price for this WRRS bell, but i feel concerned when i do not see any wires, nor the inside of the bell itself.

Also, there might not be any wires due to the wires that connected to the rest of the signal from the bell having been removed prior to removal.
