Hi.... Could you identify this brass bell? It is 8 inches tall and 8 inches across the bottom diameter of the bell. It also weighs about 8.5 lbs.Thanks so very much.

Any markings, letters, inscriptions anywhere on it? Check the top or around the bottom on the rim.

Just checked and there aren't any markings that I see...My parents did at one time own an old fire engine and also had some old items from the train station that now no longer exists....they also did a lot of flea markets and as they would say..."sales in the woods"
So where they got this or kind of bell it is has been puzzling me....they are so many....any info would be so helpful...

Hi again...In photo "one" there are visable indentations (top left)...upon further inspection all around the top....there are 3 more....it looks like indentations from possibly what ever was supporting the bell?
