(transferred to MCI for analysis July 2009)
Note: Condition Review
There is black paper and adhesive stuck to the numbered side of the body. There is a break in the top of the suspension loop
Note: Follow-up Notes
Special. Dendritic structure. Also there is a break in the suspension loop that offers an excellent cross section of the metal for measuring difference in surface composition. This is a very interesting sample as the core may be present inside the body of the bell as well.
