A Surreal Vintage 1970’s Door Bell Gong, Which I’m Calling ‘The Grumble Gong’. Shaped Like A Snarling Face With Bulging Eyes, It Functions As Both A Doorbell And A Statement Piece. It’s Made Of A Bakelite Style Plastic, Not Actual Bakelite, But A Plastic Made To Mimic Its Marbled Look And Tactile Feel.
The Brass Gong It Guards Lets Out A Deep, Resonant Tone, More Of A Warning, Than A Welcome! Both Funny And Unnerving, It Almost Dares Visitors To Enter…!
I’ve Not Seen Another Like It.
Condition is good, commensurate with age and use. Age related wear to both head and gong. Structurally sound and functions well. Appears to have replacement strings attaching the gong to the head.
Measures 26cm top to bottom x 12.5cm x 7.5cm
Weighs 300 grams
