Seller's description:
This old metal bell is signed "Lowits Boys' Dept. Everything Boys Wear, 154 Main Street, Hackensack, N.J." and the back is signed "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year".
The back reads Patent Pending, so it is pretty early!
It measures approx. 3 1/4" x 1 1/2" wide. This bells were used at Christmastime and Santa Claus would stand outside Lowits dept. store and wait for donations for the poor.
The other little copper antique bell is a bonus. It has a cloth handle.
