Excellent design and a rare example of Joseph Shipman’s casting work. We believe these date to somewhere around the 1820s/1830s, hard to be exact. He died in 1859.

This listing is for a N. RARE Antique Bicycle Bell unique mould piece display. It is an excellent Early American Accessory, made in Connecticut USA circa 1887. It is on a folk art style plaque, which is inscribed, N. Hill Brass Co Bycicle Mold East Hampton Conn. I have not seen another quite like it. It is an excellent item for collectors of bicycle memorabilia / antiques, gifting, display/ decor, gifting, and much more! Perhaps they could be turned into some musical machine or sculpture as well that can actually play notes- the possibilities are endless! It is in great antique condition. It could be re-mounted on a more professional looking plaque, but the original has a certain charm to it. If that is the case- In a sense they are New old stock. I believe they are in fact a mould component due to the thickness of the center shaft connecting them, its a large amount of brass to waste every time you cast. They have a pleasing patina, I have not cleaned them at all to not disturb it. Cleaning is at buyers discretion. Thank you for your consideration, reasonable offers always considered. Comes as shown, please see photos for details and measurements.
