This bell flare was made out of a vintage H.N White bell. The serial number was 381468, which places the year of manufacture as 1961. The bell has been delacquered, cleaned and brought to a light brushed finish (it is not polished), fitted with an Alexander Bell ring, and then customized with a silhouette of a rising sun.
This cut out pattern has a bit more potential for snagging on clothing than other patterns.
Original mass with bell ring = 485g; current mass after customization = 459g.
