If the buyer wants the frame and Bells as pictured in the photos it will be for PICK-UP ONLY.Please contact me for pick-up arrangements before placing a bid. Being offered is this very rare set of J. C. Deagan Round Top Parsifal Bells from approximately 1919.They are from an Organ Stop and arranged in Diatonic Scale in their Frame as shown.There is a model number stamped on the low 'C'Bar of which only the last two digits, 37 are legible.Going by the number on the back of the frame shown in the 6th photo, 2537, I would suspect that to be the model number. The set is 3 full octaves and consists of 37 Bars, each measuring 1 and 1/4 inches wide and 7/16 of an inch thick.The Bars range in length from 11 and 3/4 inches (the low 'C') to 4 and 1/4 inches (high 'C').The entire Wood Frame is 7 Feet 4 inches in length and weighs 52 Lbs. Most of which is the weight of the Bars.The Bars show their age with lots of tarnish and some plating loss but still sound sweet as only the old round tops can.The Bars can be restored to improve their cosmetic appearance or used as they are.Thanks for looking !Buyers Please Note:New and zero feedback bidders must contact us before placing bids on auction items or those bids will be canceled.
