Hello all, first post here for me. Got to a house tear down vacant lot yesterday and was able to eek out a couple of pretty cool small bells and one IH in nice condition from the mass of rubble covered over with newly turned earth. The 5" coil was my only option here.. Here are some pics. Anyone able to guestamate age by the handles? Thanks and HH>

Welcome to the forum, comett62! Nice to see a post from you! :yes:

Those are some interesting finds, I really like those bells. I don't suppose there are any markings or writing on them anywhere? I hope you are able to find out more about them. It looks like they are made out of brass. I bet they gave a loud and clear signal!

Congrats on the finds and we hope to see more. :thumbsup02:

No maker marks at all just the engraved design on the outside. Thanks.
