My grandmother had one like this as well - but she didn't teach school. NO idea why she had it but whenever I was sick I got to keep it by me so I wouldn't have to holler if I needed her :)
That is a beautiful bell. I love the handle. I think you should use it for school too. it is way to neat to be left sitting on the shelf. I have a school bell that my mother gave me for Christmas one year along with a set of McGuffey Readers. I keep them on a shelf in my front room. "Mr. Owen" loves to ring the bell when he comes to visit.
This is my Great Grandmother Florence Beatrice Hawn Hummel's bell. She taught school in North Dakota in a one room school house. I had forgotten all about it until RhondaRae posted her pictures. I usually use it to call everyone in for dinner, but I think I will start using if for school too! Much better than just sitting on the shelf collecting dust!
