Please let us know if you have additional items to appraise, and thank you again for using Mearto.
It should be fairly obvious to see if it has one. I've valued this based on it being as old as you say it is; unfortunately, the market for these isn't very strong at the moment.
I couldn't find one. If it's not on the bell, where would it be?
