Description

Bells have played a prominent role in our society since the earliest of civilizations, yet few realize the scope of objects encompassed by this broad heading.

While all bells share certain qualities--like the ability to produce sound--they vary amazingly in terms of size, shape, style, and material.

A flat round Chinese gong is as much a bell as the graceful figurine hiding a swinging clapper beneath her skirt or a strap of round metal "sleigh bells" from the nineteenth century.

Featuring over 620 beautiful color photos, this absorbing and entertaining book showcases the wonderful diversity of collectible bells, from animal bells, call bells, and rattles to commemoratives, figurals, miniatures, and holiday bells.

Here you will find bells made of different materials, bells with more than one purpose, bells with common motifs, and much more.

Both antique and modern, well-known to unique, one of these bells is sure to grab your fancy!

Values, an index, and a bibliography are all included.
