<p>[QUOTE="wlwhittier, post: 9766751, member: 76316"]My meager contribution to this thread. Pooja, Garuda...but no clapper. ~8 1/2" tall, 2 5/8" across the wings, ~3 3/4 bell diameter; weight is ~19 oz.The clapper fitting isn't an iron staple, but cast in place.</p><p>The contrast between the care shown in the finish of the bell, an' the crudeness in the Garuda casting is puzzling to me. The wear at the bell rim suggests age, an' use...does anything about it indicate region, or age? Thanks for lookin'!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]480879[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]480880[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]480881[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]480882[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]480883[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
