I had purchased bells like this in a quaint New England hardware store 24 years ago. I have had so many friends ask where to buy them and was never able to find anything like them….until now. These bells are EXACTLY like my original ones. They have a wonderful, happy sound as soon as my front door is opened. This nice part is I can be anywhere in the house and if anyone opens or tries to open my door, I hear it. They make for an unusual gift as well.

Is this good for a 13 year old’s bedroom? I’m refurnishing and painting!?

  1. I requested a gift suggestion for two of my grandchildren … a boy 7 and a girl 9. This globe was the one they chose. It is beautiful and well-constructed. They were very pleased to receive it.

  2. very nice globe ,a little more than i wanted to spend but well worth it,it is just a great addition to the kids room,plus the most importent thing is ,they are learning about other parts of the world we live in,an educational item that kids have fun looking up other parts of the world,it is like fun homework in geography,beets playing all those computer games.

  3. Bought as a Christmas gift. It’s just as advertised: attractive, easy to read, well made. Great for the home or office.

  4. The product is exactly what I was looking for but couldn’t find because I did not know what the correct name was for it. “That bell ‘thingy’ that used to hang on shop doors” just didn’t cut it when searching for the product. Once I knew to look for “shopkeepers bell” it was easy. This product is well made of real brass and is practical as well as beautiful. I only gave it a four star because I had to figure out how to keep the top on as it tends to unscrew as the bells(there are three) rotates. Ended up drilling a very, very small hole in the top and screwing in a brass screw to secure the top. One injured finger later the bell was mounted and delightfully announces whomever uses my back door–much better than the alarm buzzer that comes with the alarm system. If you don’t want the bells to ring just put a piece of tape on the hanging pendulum and silence reigns. Couldn’t be better. This would be great for a busy family trying to keep track of just where the kids are!!!

  5. Beautiful, well made, sturdy chimes. Love them, and an using them in my office as an alternative to the counter top bell customers ring to alert me.

  6. I bought one of these 20 yrs. ago and have to buy another now. Cannot recommend it enough. Well made and a very beautiful sound. I just love the tinkling of the bells.

  7. This bell is sturdy and sweet. It’s very Victorian. I love the tinkling of the bells and it’s welcoming to those who enter. I know right away when my kids go in and out!
