Vintage Cast Iron Rooster Dinner Bell Wall Mounted Hand Painted Door Bell

This charming vintage dinner bell features a colorful cast iron rooster perched atop a decorative wall bracket. The piece is crafted in a classic rustic farmhouse or country cottage style, characterized by its sturdy material and vibrant hand painted details in red, yellow, and green. The rooster measures approximately 3 inches tall, with the bell itself standing 2.25 inches. The total height of the assembly is approximately 7 inches. Based on the casting techniques, the visible mold lines, and the specific style of the painted finish, this item likely dates from the mid to late 20th century, roughly the 1960s through the 1980s - and it has been in the same family for over 50 years. It is designed for wall mounting with three pre-drilled holes in the bracket for easy installation. The bell retains its original clapper with a small string attached, producing a clear, resonant metallic ring. The condition is excellent for its age, showing only minor shelf wear and a light patina on the interior of the bell which adds to its authentic vintage character. This would make a wonderful functional accent for a kitchen, garden, or entryway.
