Description: Vintage 1940s WWII USN US Navy Harvard Lock Company Cast Iron Ship Bell. Ok for you Military and Nautical Collectors, we have a real treat for you. This is a fantastic piece of World War Two Naval history! Bells manufactured during the height of the second World War were cast in iron due to a limitation of bronze and brass for actual combat essentials. This is a classic U.S.N. United States Navy quarterdeck bell. The bell is cast iron and was made by the HARVARD - LOCK - COMPANY as embossed on the top of the bell. It has the correct U.S.N embossed on the bells lower rim, and definitely looks to have seen long service. The original bronze paint finish is completely gone, and there has been significant oxidation inside the bell, most likely from exposure to ocean air. The bell measures a base diameter of 9 1/2 inches and a height of 9 inches. The Bell is complete with its mount and original clapper, but unfortunately can no longer ring because it is cracked. Still great piece of original US History and looks great. Its is probably about 16 pounds, and the real thing. D623C50
