We have a bell that was in use for decades at a family farm. It was cast in 1881 at a local bell foundry and was used as the dinner bell to summon the workers in from the fields. It's in very good condition, and I personally think it has a very pleasing tone when rung. But we would like to find it a good home.
It's a pretty good size, about 20 inches in diameter at the bottom, and weighs over 200 pounds, so kind of awkward to move around.
I've asked a lot of people but haven't come up with any good ideas, so I thought I would ask the creative folks here if they can think of anything. As mentioned, it isn't something I could simply pick up and take in the car to drop off anywhere, and there are obviously few practical uses for it these days, but you never know.
