A DDAC appeal described the 1934 international Automobile Exhibition as a "show for the people" rather than an "exhibition for the more affluent bourgeois segment" of society.

**UNIQUE** Original, Large Victorian 1st Lancashire Volunteer Artillery Brass Barrack’s Bell With Original Striker Mounted For Use On Ebonised Wood Plinth. Sn 17550 - 17550
The Lancashire Artillery Volunteers were first raised in 1859 as part of the Volunteer Force raised in response to threats of French Invasion. A total of 23 Artillery companies were raised initially. However, in Manchester, numerous units that would later form the Lancashire Artillery Gunners had existed from as early as 1804, when the Duke of Gloucester inspected the Heaton Artillery Volunteers before they were shipped off to the fronts of the Napoleonic Wars. Officers and men of the Lancashire Artillery Volunteers continued to give service during the two world wars of the 20th Century. This is an excellent, original, Victorian era Barrack’s Bell of the 1st Lancashire Volunteer Artillery with original Striker (we have been unable to identify which barracks this bell came from). The brass bell in the frame & on its stand is 18” tall and 12 ½” in diameter at its widest point. The diameter of the bell mouth is 9”. The bell is complete with heavy striker and works perfectly with a loud deep resonance. There is a wear ring on the inside of the bell which corresponds exactly to the point of contact with the striker. The bell is mounted on its brass frame with curved arms. The top of the bell has integral spigots which are bolted to the frame and allow the bell to swing freely. The body of the bell is crisply marked ‘1st Lanc. Vol Artillery’. The bell frame is securely brass bolted to its ebonised wood stand which is undamaged and measures 8 ½” x 8 ½” x 2”. This impressive, unique bell weighs approx 17Kg (including striker frame & plinth). The price for this piece worthy of further research includes UK delivery.
