FABULOUS FARM BELL

I've restocked my spaces at Splendid, and the focal point is this fabulous farm bell!  This gem is over 100 years old and has seen lots of duty.  It is in remarkably good shape and ready to give many more years of service.  It would be terrific as an accent in your yard, calling out to everyone that the barbeque is on.  The bell rings loud and clear! 


We've attached a sturdy stand for display purposes, but this stand can easily be removed if you want to put a longer post on and sink it in the ground.


If you wanted to just place this on your patio, you could put pots of flowers at the base or other deccorative accents, as we show here.

I've attached a history of the manufacturer of this bell, the C.S. Bell Co of Hillsboro, Ohio, that you
might find interesting.





I hope you'll get a chance to stop by Stars and Splendid and check out this wonderful old piece.
