A very rare early 20th century gold plated tortoise bell and faux tortoiseshell butlers bell.
The
ultimate in extravagance, the combination of the gilt body and the
brown of the shell work beautifully. Of all the tortoise bells, this is
my favorite (other than the silver ones). By pressing the head or / and
tail the clock work bell is released and your butler will be summoned.
Even if you dont have a butler, these are essential toys for the person who has everything and needs nothing.
This one is in perfect condition, the top is complete and perfect - (often these are cracked or damaged).
