I am building a replica of sorts of a one room schoolhouse for my wife and I and am looking for an original schoolbell.
I had to build on an existing basement for money reasons, and what I came up with to fit and not look like a ranch house was a one room school with little additions off of each end like you often see. I need the bell to lend it authenticity.
Anyone runs across one of those at a reasonable price let me know. You can buy them on Ebay, but their asking prices are not acceptable to me, and I see that same ones on there forever, so they must not be acceptable to anyone else either. I would prefer the kind with the rope wheel.
Also, I am looking for one of those old ceiling fans where the armiture stayed still and the windings turned. Very heavy old relics, but they are what I want. The new ones all suck.
