<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 111440, member: 44"]I like the call bells with springs! The one on our far right is pictured in Bradley & Hubbard 1883-1884 catalog, p. 220. In fact there are 2 pictures on the page of it. One of them is the bell standing alone ("No. 200 $9.00 per doz.") and the other is of the bell mounted on a square marble base ("No. 1100. White Marble Base, $11.00 per doz. No. 300. Same Pattern."). There are 2 differences though. The finial on bell is tulip shape and the end of the hammer/clapper or whatever a tiny bud shape. The finial on your bell is pointed as well as on the clapper. Nowwww there are several other bells with springs pictured in different patterns. Some of them have finials on the bell like yours.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have been trying now for nearly a 1/2 hour to scan the catalog page for you. @#&^%$, I can't get the HP Photosmart 5520 printer's scanning software to work. This is the first time I have tried to scan since updating our desktop to Windows 10 a couple of weeks. It will print with no problems from any program even via Wifi, but not the scanning software. I finally got it to scan manually by punching stuff and such on the printer, but for the life of me can not find where the #$$%$$@ printer/scanner put the scans. By manually scanning there is no option to tell it where to store the scans or to name the scans. If you don't name the scans they always give it some sort of an alphanumeric name that is impossible to find. I have looked in all the obvious places like all the the HP's folders, etc... and have searched the drives several times with different keywords with no avail. Gee, this was going to be a good day with a bright sunny sky and temps in the 40s nearing 50. Wellllll, so much for optimism. I'll be playing havoc working through HP sites for answers or trying to understand a techie from Mars on the phone. I thought I'd bore y'all with this printer problem for I am miserable and misery loves company. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/mad.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":mad:" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I can print out the page for you!!
