Antique Gber. Gusset Uetendorf Brass Bell on Leather Strap

Description

Founded in Switzerland by the Gusset Glockengiesserei Foundry in Uetendorf, this bell was made somewhere in the early part of the 20th century. These bells are individually hand-cast with copper and tin in a unique model mold, sand blasted and polished before being fitted with the custom leather strap. This particular bell was made for practical use by cattle in the Alps. A rare, older bell marked with the Gber. Gusset Uetendorf cartouche and decorated with flowers and garlands. The sound is amazing! The bell is 8″ in diameter, 6″ high with a 44″ strap and weighs 7lbs. 2 oz. Please see the pictures for condition details as the photos are considered part of the description.
