We nabbed this old-fashioned ringer at Mischler's auction in Hollsopple, PA, for only $80. Patented in the late 1890s, this visually appealing piece harbors all the tears, scratches and crevices one can only dream of enjoying in such an authentic piece. Even the leather straps attached to the back have a raw and weathered look to them. It's the perfect accessory to mount on an office wall. At just the slightest nudge, it makes a prominent "ding" sound quite pleasant to the ears.
