Antiques:Cast Iron:Figural Bell
We were unable to find a manufacturer's mark or even a cast mark on this item. This beautiful antique butler's hand bell has a handle featuring a crane with its bill up in the air and standing delicately on one leg. The other leg holds the clapper to this bell which is a unique design. Look at the wonderful detail on the neck, outspread wings and body of the bird. The patina is wonderful!

Art Nouveau Cast Iron Inkwell Metal Insert Original Paint

$135 USDArt Nouveau Cast Iron Inkwell Metal Insert Original Paint

Antiques:Inkwell:Cast Iron
The mark on this item is "JM" with 18B - We are unsure of the maker on this but can tell you it is an older cast iron item. This art nouveau cast iron ink well is just lovely and extremely heavy - LOL. The metal insert is unscathed from time. We believe the white paint, if not original to the piece, is close to it. It may have been painted to keep moisture from rusting the iron. Look at the lovely mold design with the high back decorated with open scroll work. The sides are reticulated half ...
