Anyone who read this old post on my washboard renovation project, will recall that I was looking for an additional bell/chime/noisy thing to add to the right hand side of the frame and balance out the two existing bells on the left side.
Lo and behold, just round the corner from my house, I found the following lying in the road – I think it’s a small cycle bell, but it may be a metal cover from an engine bolt? Whatever, it’s just the right size and makes a pleasingly different bell sound from the existing two. A quick clean, a coat of black spray paint and voilà:
Found bell
And here it is, screwed into place (there is a small rubber pad between the frame and the bell itself to just help it ring out when struck):
New bell added in place
