Part of a large collection of mostly run of the mill bells. But this one caught my heart. The tag has that it was bought from Montgomery Ward on 11/3/73 for 3.88 ordered from their catalog. Listed and labeled as made in Spain. The interesting part is that it is very heavy and the tag has 100% Zamac. Upon researching this learned it was an new alloy that was perfect for die cast and eventually was greatly used for Hot Wheel Cars. Would not mind having other Zamac pieces as their weight is nice. It does have some discoloration parts but its become a favorite.
