The grander or more elaborate the bell was, chances are the more elaborate or grand a building it served. What attracted me to this bell was just how elaborate and beautiful the base is, with the flowers and leaves. </p><p><br /></p><p>You rang this bell to call the bellhop. Or to call for service. Or assistance. Or to notify the next person in line, etc etc. Back in the days when real customer service meant something, unlike some places today...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
