latest find

This guy tied the bell like Yossarian. I wonder how he did it

I wonder how he did it

It's not the way used by Yoyo in the Catch 22 TV show.
But as @Edward already told, there is not way to attache it as Yoyo did, without disassembling the chain from the binding, and again, you need a chain that is fine enough to pass through the small hole.

original dated brass capri bell on my Eastman. I stuffed it with tissue to keep it from ringing.

I did the same. I sounded like someone's kitty cat got out and ran away otherwise! lol!

I knew there were all sizes but I always looked for the small ones that were dated . And my wife would also stuff mine with tissue to stop it from ringing .

Recently picked up another Capri Bell that came with this cool original pamphlet printed in English and Italian. Love the sales pitch: "Be careful, this is the only true Lucky Little Bell...'".

Good evening everyone. I found this conversation just now.
I signed up to reply.
I have two bells and I think they date back to the second war. I bought them on ebay. one comes from England and was sold together with a RAF scarf. I attach the photos

Very nice ….!
Are you considering selling them or are you just showing them at this time ?

 

[Beppe83]

Per ora li sto solo mostrando. Ho cercato a lungo la brochure che è stata data con esso.
Ho provato a contattare un produttore sull'isola di Capri che all'epoca produceva già campanelli ma non mi ha risposto.

Non so che valore possano avere. Sono entrambi in argento.

 

[B-Man2]

Ok I understand . Thanks for showing them to us. Hopefully the maker who lives on the island of capri will eventually contact you back .
Regards
