Very Large 20 inch Antique Belfry Mount School Bell, Montgomery Ward, with Frame

Description

Montgomery Ward Cast Iron Antique School or Church Bell.  This model was made to mount in a belfry.  As opposed to most that were mounted on a pole.  It makes is nice for display because it's all ready to put where you want and you can ring it.  It is very impressive in person!
This is very large for a cast iron school bell.  It may have been offered for use in churches as well.  It is in good condition with no cracks, and all original parts even the rope pulley and cast iron mounting frame is with it.  It has a very nice ring.
If interested send me a message and I will send you a short video of it ringing.
For size reference the floor mat it is sitting on in the photo is 4 feet wide.
The bell measures 20 inches at the bottom.  The whole unit in the frame is about 28 inches tall.  The mounting frame is 26 inches wide and 16 inches in depth.
I do not know any history of this bell.  It was owned by a collector in the Cambridge, Vermont area.  The previous owner painted it black.  You can see the original patina on the inside of the bell.
This is super heavy.  I estimate around 200 pounds with the frame.  I would not dare ship this for fear it would get cracked or broken.  So local pick-up only on this one.  I am located very near Burlington (northern), Vermont.  My town is Underhill, VT 05489.
I'm very flexible on pick-up days and time.  And two people can load it in a vehicle, but it's not light :-).
