Hello people — I'm looking for a brass bell showing some age and patina. Similar to below, darkened, showing discoloration. If you have one you'd part with please let me know and send me a picture!

Thank you!

Note: For anyone saying "Just get one and weather it." I've tried. Some of the modern bells from Crane and Blue Lug have durable clear finishes that I have not been successful removing and they do not weather over time. So I'm looking for one that's already weathered which proves it doesn't have a clearcoat. Thanks again.

I think the Viva brass hammer bells are uncoated and weather quite nicely.

Looks like you’re all sorted, but if you wanted to use your current bell, seems like a fairly easy DIY process. And a chance for another excellent video from you 🙂
