This is a solid brass ship's bell, 6" wide across the mouth. The bell itself stands another 6" tall, with a total height of 8" from additional height from the wall mount when mounted. It is of a heavy enough gauge of brass to be able to be used both indoor or out. The clapper is also made of solid brass with a beautifully knotted rope bell pull attached to it.
The bell has a nice, sharp edge to the top of the bell and decorative pinstripes along the lower edge that contrasts well with the clean curve of the rest of the bell. 'U.S. Navy' is deeply engraved into the side of the bell.
This beautiful bell is new, with no problems.
