I acquired this as representative of vintage craftsmanship. Oak tongue and grove construction just to enclose a bell. I will brighten the oak finish with the wood restorer recommended by Doug Rose, and have the gongs, clapper cover and clapper cover screws re-nickeled.

Here is the restored bell box.

Beautiful, Chuck!

Chuck....it is a beauty. The old wood clean up like new, great grain! The new nickel is amazing.....Doug
