(FROM WHITEWATER, WI. RECORDED BY WEHRAR17@UWGB.EDU)
Only one manufacturer made this type of bell. WRRS made this bell, and is no longer in production. Finding one of these is just as rare as finding teardrops, if not rarer.
Despite their size, cast iron mini-bells can weigh as much as 57 lbs. (25 kg).
I've been told that the gong is 8" long, instead of 12" long on other mechanical bells.
This was a model number 1275.
