This is a metal 2.5" tall reproduction of the famous Liberty Bell, which was made during the American Revolution and since has been a symbol of freedom and American Independence. The bell is made of metal and is a faithful reproduction, with the crack and words around the top. It has a working metal clapper and makes a lovely sound. It measures 2.5" across.It is from 1975-86. Some chipping at edge, otherwise good vintage condition.
