<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 9765860, member: 2844&quot;]Yes, the clapper is the same, it is a pretty generic and basic execution that works well. You can see the same clapper on recently made bells and on bells that are even older than the Christie&#039;s bell.</p><p>I also have the same clapper on my 19th century Dutch Evangelist bells, but that doesn&#039;t make yours a Dutch Evangelist bell.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /></p><p>However, every other detail of the Christie&#039;s bell is different from yours, as is the wear and patina. The body of the Christie&#039;s bell, so the bell part itself, is a different shape from yours. For instance the bottom flares out, the one on yours is much more straight.</p><p>While your bell is of good quality, the handle of the Christie&#039;s bell is made with greater artistry, and in a different style from a different region from yours.</p><p><br /></p><p>As I said before, yours is of a type that was made over a long period of time. So while the Christie&#039;s bell is different from yours in every way except the very generic clapper, there are probably bells out there that are the same model as yours but a century older. That doesn&#039;t change the age of yours.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are many antique Pooja bells, and people will pay for good examples like yours.</p><p>If you want to find the value of yours, it is best to look at bells that are the same style and age as yours.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
