Not a ship's bell. With the pulley, more like it was mounted well overhead like a church town hall bell.
Thank you blunderbuss2 now that I know that.Do you have any idea how old it is?
Bells are pretty much a specialty & I'm surprised that such a well made 1 is unmarked. If unmarked, the only indication of age would be from the wood base if you think it is orig.. Bells have been made forever & still made. I just added what I thought was obvious to me.
I have a bell like this. The inside of the bell has a sticker that says Leonard Silver Mfg. Co.
