Newspaper signs - 12/2/2011 7:41:12 PM    accountantadam   Posts: 378 Joined: 5/2/2011 From: Chillicothe, Ohio Status: online Picked up 6 of these metal signs advertising our local newspaper at an auction last weekend. I've not seen them before. I think people who took the newspaper would probably put them out in their yards Attachment (1) _____________________________ Looking for fruit/mason jars, any Bainbridge, Chillicothe, Hillsboro, Greenfield or Toledo Ohio bottles, items from Shurts Dairy in Mason, Ohio, as well as anything from the C.S.

I've been buying, selling, and collecting for almost 10 years now, and these are the first of these I've seen. appliedlips - What size was the bell? Was it for sale? _____________________________ Looking for fruit/mason jars, any Bainbridge, Chillicothe, Hillsboro, Greenfield or Toledo Ohio bottles, items from Shurts Dairy in Mason, Ohio, as well as anything from the C.S.

RE: Newspaper signs - 12/6/2011 4:49:34 PM    L C   Posts: 3446 Joined: 3/17/2007 From: Ohio Status: offline Todd , the last C. S. Bell company bell I had , I sold for $125.00 and that has been probably twelve to fifteen years ago . It did have the yoke with it . I had the clapper for it but it had rusted off the hanger . It needed to have the end of the clapper reworked to be able to reinstall it to the bell which the buyer did get it fixed . As for my own preference , I would not have one of them unless it was complete with the yoke . (in reply to toddrandolph) Post #: 7

RE: Newspaper signs - 12/6/2011 6:01:47 PM    accountantadam   Posts: 378 Joined: 5/2/2011 From: Chillicothe, Ohio Status: online Todd - If its in good shape, $50 isn't out of the price range, even with no yoke, depending on the size. I've seen them bring $80 and up, even with no yoke. I think its a little different here however, being so close to where they were made. Original yokes without bells are tough, but not impossible to find. I've found 1 since I started collecting. Seems like you always find bells with no yokes, or with yokes that have been broken and welded back together. I guess people would put them up on poles, then when the pole rotted, it would fall over and the yoke would break _____________________________ Looking for fruit/mason jars, any Bainbridge, Chillicothe, Hillsboro, Greenfield or Toledo Ohio bottles, items from Shurts Dairy in Mason, Ohio, as well as anything from the C.S.

Bell company bell once with an unmarked yoke mated up to it . The guy wanted seventy five for it , still worthless to me . (in reply to toddrandolph) Post #: 10

Whether or not you get the local paper, I'd touch up a sign or 2 and have them proudly displayed in my yard, or by the front door. _____________________________ Alterius non sit qui suus esse potest.

RE: Newspaper signs - 12/8/2011 4:19:14 PM    accountantadam   Posts: 378 Joined: 5/2/2011 From: Chillicothe, Ohio Status: online Thanks  Plumbata. We do still take this paper, but only on the weekends. There isn't much too it during the week anymore. I will probably keep at least one of these. I've been buying/selling/collecting for almost 10 years now, and these are the first of these signs I've seen. Probably can't put them out front as they would most likely find a new home with one of the local hooligans, but I am going to try to find a place for them in the house somewhere _____________________________ Looking for fruit/mason jars, any Bainbridge, Chillicothe, Hillsboro, Greenfield or Toledo Ohio bottles, items from Shurts Dairy in Mason, Ohio, as well as anything from the C.S.
