Antique Mechanical Tortoise Bell with Faux Shell C.1920

1900 - 1920
Sold by Puckerings
Description

Extremely hard to find, these German made mechanical bells with the faux Cellulose tortoiseshell tops (often mis-catalogued as genuine) are often damaged and incomplete.

The simulation of the shell, the colours, the patterning and finish is extremely well executed, looking realistic.

The underside is where the bell is wound up and both the head or tail can be pressed to create an authoritative ring.

Excellent working order dating to c.1920. 5 3/4" x 3 1/4" x 2" tall.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.
