    Early Victorian crank door bell fully restored with a patent date on the Taylor bell of Oct. 23, 1860.    Assembly mounts directly through an exterior door with the crank handle (below left) on the outside and the bell mounted inside - the operating stem coming off the crank mounts through the door into the bell to ring with a gong when cranked in either direction.  Decorative cast brass crank lever handle extends 3" with a 2" rosette and the original porcelain knob measuring 1 1/8" diameter with age crazing (secure on mount).  Cast bronze mechanical bell is on a cast iron base and measures 3 5/8" in diameter and is approximately 4 1/4" center to center on mount holes.  The bell was manufactured by Taylor which was a major bell manufacturer of the time.  Their bells were sold to hardware companies such as Sargent & Co., Russell Erwin Mfg. Co. and Reading Hardware Co. who then made a variety of handles to accompany their bells.  The customer choose the bell and handle separately in most cases.  Complete and restored to working order, bell is adjustable for a door up to 2" maximum thickness and rings with a hearty gong on every quarter turn.  Comes with slotted screws.
