Topic: victorian glass dinner bell

[Glassyone]

I would be grateful for any links or advice about these. one has just sold on e-bay for ---a lot.

I can't find any information about them by searching the Net. The reason? I have six glass bells and whilst their look and sound is elegant, I have never got as far as finding out about them. there have been too many other, more interesting,  pieces of glass to research.
I am tempted to sell them, in order to buy utilitarian equipment for my first grandchild. 
Thank you for any advice.
Regards Ruth

Hi Ruth, i dont know much about bell's but try googling duckbill group dingdongs and dingalings or the American glass bell association.

Thank you very much, Sue,
I will try that tonight. I found a couple of books, through Amazon, which look interesting.
