Great news! A great find indeed.

Have them pack it really well and ship it to you the way it is. Contrary to the good intentions of others on the list, I must insist that no work of any kind be done to the bell until you see it for yourself in its current state!!!!!!

If it is possible to do a proper (solid), flush silver brazing of the the cracks in the bell, there can be NO contamination of the area with lead/tin solder. I have done this type of work more times then I can remember. If you want it done right you will need to be patient and address the issues on your own terms.

Congratulations again, and please do send the information for my survey!!

Happy Holidays to all!
