1940 RAF Bell  (Stock No 2044)

Three bells

We have two bells in stock (the magnificent 1936 bell in the centre is now sold).  The 1940 RAF bell to the left is of the standard form for that year with the smaller of the two types of engraved crest with crown.  These bells were Station Bells, either mounted outside the guardroom and painted red, or outside the Station Headquarters. 

Stock No: 2044

They are much associated with Fighter Stations where they were sometimes used as scramble bells.  The bell comes without a clanger. Most were sold off by the RAF separately from the bells.

Stock No: 2044

This bell is made of a bell metal which is quite close to gun metal in colour.  It is in better condition than most and bears the Foundry mark TW, which we have not yet identified.  Bells dated 1940 are particularly valued for their association with the Battle of Britain.

£890 (pounds sterling) plus carriage
