This superb replica of a Town Crier bell is the one that has been chosen to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the founding of NECABA. It is 9” tall and has a 4” diameter. Made of bell metal, it weighs nearly two pounds! The sound is clear and full-bodied. The cast clapper attachment is a sturdy metal ring, not wire. It has an antiqued, no-tarnish finish and the nicely turned handle is of walnut with a finial. The bell will have 3 lines of engraving as follows:

1962 – 50th – 2012
