WITHDRAWN, SORRY - small, global artisanal bells


Recommended Posts

As photo, which is only indicative - I have many more.

Global metal bells, between 2.5 and 5 cm in diameter - mostly in the mid-range thereof.

Some are lightly stamped to indicate size - the number '6' can be seen on one bell in the image.

Slit perforation at the bottom, with free metal sounder ('clapper') inside.

Some have a circumferential ridge, evidently where two halves have been joined.

Paired holes near the top, with a perforated tab for hanging.

Some have a brassy finish, others a more silver one. A few will require slight paint etc removal.

They are obviously cast artisanally, rather than being mass produced, with the slight differences/imperfections this implies, probably from South Asia (I would appreciate being told). They are very solidly made.


I am very happy to GIVE these to bona fide makers, art & craft teachers or tutors or students, or children, or for cafe or domestic use - eg as small mobiles or similar.

I will NOT! give them to traders or re-sellers.

Only for this reason I would appreciate hearing broadly what you have in mind to do with them.

Offered in sets of between a single bell to (say) a dozen, one size or assorted, tho I am open to larger and repeat requests - say from teachers.


Exact availability will depend on overall demand.


Please send me a PM if you're interested. My only request: no timewasters please.


Lee Scoresby.

    • My experience is that my local letter box does have week-day-ly collections - but I think very early in the morning, not at the old 'around 5.00pm' times. There are several daily collections from the box outside the Forest Hill Road sub-post office. I don't think the 'Monday' tab is now ever changed. Mail collections from boxes have got nothing to do with the service we (don't) get from the Peckham Delivery Office. Your Wednesday 12th posting would probably only have been collected on Thursday 13th, if it was posted after 9.00am. If it was being delivered in East Dulwich (where the Peckham DO does come into play) then getting it by the following Tuesday is probably par for the course.
    • Are there no daily collections from post boxes any more? On Wednesday Feb 12 I posted a Valentine's Card in the postbox which is about 20 metres from our house to make sure it arrived by Feb 14 (yes I know I could've put it thru letterbox but that's not as romantic is it). After I posted it I noticed the little metal thingy said "Monday" but I thought this must be a mistake and had not been changed. However, Valentine's Day came and went and no card arrived. In fact it arrived on the following Tuesday, Feb 18 so I'm guessing the Monday collection metal thingy was correct. Has it ever been announced officially that there are no longer daily collections from letterboxes? I remember a time, not even that long ago, when the red postman pat van would pull up at least twice a day, every weekday.    
    • My lovely tuxedo cat, Rexy, has been missing since Wednesday which is very out of character. Rodwell Road area, SE22. He is a rescue cat so really quite timid with people he doesn’t know. If you spot him, could you please contact me? Many thanks. He is chipped and neutered.  Photos attached. 
    • I just wanted to add to this stream. We employed Paul Edgeley  to fix our lights upstairs. They had suddenly all gone out and we could not isolate the issue. He came round the next day and fixed the issue - a problem with the old wiring in the attic - he put in new wiring for us. We were so happy with the job  that we asked him to do some other work in the house. I'm happy to recommend Paul.   His number: 07802627967
