Large Brass Fire Bell engraved GR VI around the top, complete with clapper. Reputedly came from a Fire Station which is most likely as it was painted all over red when acquired. The paint was stripped to reveal the brass but a small amount remains ingrained in the initials. A substantial bell that really does sound a treat if you want to evacuate a wide area!
