This exquisite set of 1980 limited-edition portrait bells was individually hand cast through the ancient "lost wax" method by America's Bronze Maker to the world, Gorham. (Very heavy and truely the finest quality.) Gorham commissioned America's esteemed sculptor Mico Kaufman to create these original designs. Pure bronze with fine silver electroplating is used to produce a true bell sound which is distinct in resonance, duration of ring and timbre. Detailing is unbelievable on the costuming, robes, crowns and jewelry. Even the bearded faces and the hands are amazingly detailed. Fronts and backs are each executed in the same exact quality of detailing. Included are the all documents and certification which came with the bells.   These silver plated bronzes are about as nice as you can hope to find. All three are in perfectly beautiful condition.   I have been an active bell collector for 37 years since I attended my first national Bell Convention in 1971. NOTE: FREE SHIPPING WITHIN USA ONLY.
