    A VERY RARE FULL WORKING CONDITION W/ KEY WHICH IS ALWAYS LOST WAS PURCHASED LAST YEAR IN CINCINNATI IN THE OVER THE RHINE DISTRICT WHILE REMODELING ROW HOUSE BY A CONSTRUCTION CREW   BOUGHT IT DIRECT BEFORE DUMPING DOOR IN DUMPSTER    COULD NOT USE THE DOOR SO I DISMANTLED FROM WOOD AND MADE A NEW STAND FOR IT.
    THIS AREA OF CINCINNATI WAS BUILT IN THE 1848-1864 PERID IN THE GERMAN DISTRICT
    THE BELL HAS NEVER BEEN CLEANED AND STILL RINGS A BEAUTIFUL CHIME
