Survivorship bias. The fancy rich things survived because they were more expensive and a higher quality. There are plenty beautifully hand crafted items today, you’re just too poor to afford it. Try being ultra rich in your next life.

[@Sandy.J.Lloyd.Sr.]

You probably won’t see this comment but my great grandmother had a doorbell like the one you’ve restored, the bell was mounted at the top of the door and the lever was mounted at the bottom of the door and was connected by a long rod, you then used your foot to ring it. All the kids got in trouble for playing with it because it was so different than any other doorbell we had seen.

[@randomrestoration6858]

Thanks for the comment, Sandy! Haha now that's an odd way to mount one of these! This bell has a pretty cool design which allowed them to be ringed with a handle like the one in the video, a different kind of bell pull which was pulled straight out from the door and a rod or chain like you described. With a setup like that no wonder it drew attention haha. Thank you very much for watching!

[@Sandy.J.Lloyd.Sr.]

@@randomrestoration6858 I was 8 years old but you definitely rang it with your foot and the reason I remember it so well is because I was slapped for the continuous ringing of it. This was back in the good old days of capital punishment, and for an old lady she had a hell of a left hook.

[@randomrestoration6858]

@@Sandy.J.Lloyd.Sr. Hahaha well that's one way to keep you from continuously ringing it!

[@hlhs42]

My grandparents had a doorbell that attached to the door. It was plain & instead of a pull you twisted a "key". At that time we lived across the country & would visit every other year, I loved ringing the doorbell. I think my folks finally made me stop. Thanks for the memories! I've always wanted a doorbell like that, I now live in an older house with the original door, so if I play my cards right & find one I might convince my husband to install it. :-)

[@randomrestoration6858]

Thank you for the comment, Heidi! Hahaha yeah they're oddly fun to use, and the few twist style bells I've tried all have had a great sounding ring to them. I see old twist style bells pop up on eBay from time to time They're usually just the bell without the twist, but if you're lucky you may be able to find a complete set on there! Thanks a lot for watching!

Goodness, Have never seen another one of these! Took the exact one off my mom's door (she had this for over 40 years) do not know where she got it, probably a garage sale or in a flea mkt in Minnesota! I am just now in the process of putting a vintage Solid oak door with 9 small frosted windows on the top section (door came out of Catholic Girls School in the early part of the last century) and we are adding this exact door bell to it! It is in pristine condition-covered by a storm door all those years! My house is1937, and all the fixtures are vintage, Added vintage lighting also. Crystal & brass door knobs, everything that would belong in a vintage house. Have done vintage for over 50 plus years, and almost everything in my house is vintage or antique. SO SO HAPPY TO KNOW HOW OLD THIS REALLY IS, and you do excellent work! THANK YOU!

[@randomrestoration6858]

Hey, thanks a lot for the comment! I'm sure the bell will look great on that door once you get it installed, glad to hear it's still in great shape! Vintage is really the way to go, especially when it comes to hardware - These items were so well built that you'd really have to try to break them! Thank you very much for watching!

Haha fair enough, I know there are many people that would prefer things kept as is!
