I'm not exactly sure how to describe these!  They were said to have come from an old ship - they were the bells that were used to summon people to dinner, in a nicely musical way!  From what I can tell, the notes are as such:First (smallest) bell: high gSecond bell: e flat (high)Third bell: b flatFourth bell:  g Fifth (largest) bell: e flat I can't guarantee that they actually play true, but that's what they are supposed to play.  The bells themselves are brass; they are hung from steel wire from a wooden frame.  They're quite large - 17"x8"x9".   I just think that these are so cool!If you would like additional pictures or have any questions, I'll do my best to help you!Shipping is USPS Parcel Post, carefully wrapped and sealed.  Insurance and delivery confirmation are extra (as is international shipping), so please let me know if you would like that added to your total.  Also, if you would like a different mode of shipment, please let me know.  If the shipping that I charge is significantly more than it actually costs (it happens sometimes) I will gladly refund you the difference!  All sales are final.Check out my other auctions - cleaning house, there will be lots of unique items up for sale in the next few weeks!
