      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.

    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. :-)

    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!

    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
      @randomrestoration6858  2 роки тому +1

      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!

    I was glad that you were able to figure out that the bell was upside down. I was thinking that you would have to put a felt material to that part of the trigger mechanism so it won't get muffled.

    • @randomrestoration6858
      @randomrestoration6858  2 роки тому +2

      Haha yeah I kinda rushed the installation when I first made the display and somehow did it all wrong! I plan on having this bell installed on actual door which should be wide enough that the lever shouldn't hit the bell. If it still does hit when it's installed on the door the lever will simply be cut to the correct length so it no longer hits the bell. Thanks a lot for watching!

    • @randomrestoration6858
      @randomrestoration6858  3 роки тому +1

      Good question - The simplified explanation is that the cold bluing I use creates a blackened layer on the steel, after which it's soaked in oil overnight. It offers some protection against rust, but isn't as good at protection against rust as hot bluing or rust bluing. Thanks a lot for watching, Lynne!

    These are just so darn cool. I just love historical stuff like this. Some almost 200 years old, that's just fascinating to me. I'd love to see a whole matching set. The doorbell, knob&lock mechanism, door plates, letter slot, and hinges. Do you have any with the entire set? I see that a lot look like they match. I've been binge watching all your videos lol.
    So very cool, you do some great work.

      Right, it's amazing this style of hardware isn't offered anymore! So this door bell matches the store door set video you watched recently, but I do also have the matching (very cool) ornate door knobs, double key backplates and lock for an entrance door and I definitely plan on getting the whole set restored in a future video, though I may wait a number of months before restoring it. Thanks again for the viewing spree over the past couple days!
