Sea-Dog Cast Polished Brass Ships Bell, 6 Inch, Part 455000

The Sea-Dog 455000 is a 6 inch cast polished brass ships bell built for traditional nautical styling on boats and yachts. Unlike lower-grade spun brass bells, this bell is constructed of improved cast brass, giving it a heavier, more solid feel and a truer bell tone. It comes complete with a hanger and a wall mounted bracket, so it is ready to install without sourcing separate mounting hardware. Installation requires two #6 flat head fasteners, which are not included and should be selected based on the mounting surface.

This 6 inch bell is part of the Sea-Dog cast brass bell family, which also includes an 8 inch size (part number 455720) that is sized to meet Coast Guard, ABYC, and NMMA requirements for vessels 12 meters (39.4 feet) to 20 meters (65.6 feet) in length. The 6 inch 455000 is suited for smaller boats, cabins, helm stations, and decorative or ceremonial use where a full-size hailing bell is not required. Its polished brass finish gives it a classic, upscale appearance that complements brightwork and other cast brass hardware on board.
