      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.

    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 ปีที่แล้ว +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!

    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!

    I am a volunteer at the Patterson House in Fremont, California. This house was a four-room farm house constructed in 1857. There was a Queen Anne addition constructed in 1889. This exact model of doorbell is installed on the front door of the 1857 house. The doorbell was probably installed around 1889.

      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!
