"Asian" Brass Gong Made in England
« on: April 23, 2013, 12:21:41 PM »
I was hoping someone could give me some information on this brass gong I found. I put all the tags I could think of when searching and got nothing that would help me.
it's about 10.5" high 8" wide and weighs 3.9 lbs
I hope the pictures help
Thanks, meanwhile I'll keep looking

Did you try Brass Dinner Gong?....because this is what this is...there are dozens of them on ebay, with the average asking price between £10 /£20....one here slightly larger than yours, with a round base,

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ULTRA-CHARMING-Stunning-BRASS-Dinner-GONG-STRIKER-32cms-Vintage-/290901478778?_trksid=p2047675.m1850&_trkparms=aid%3D222002%26algo%3DSIC.FIT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D11%26meid%3D7170502112022931567%26pid%3D100011%26prg%3D1005%26rk%3D2%26sd%3D140955905025%26..
100,s here...take your pick.....they are a bit of fun,if you have dinner guests....

 I did do "gong" on ebay and I got gongs but nothing very descriptive.
The problem with ebay is the seller usually uses the title as the description. If it's title is "Old Gong" they is usually don't add much more than that...well they might add "charming old gong, nice ring" ;)
I'm more interested in the mark , who might have made it and when
I do appreciate your looking  Thanks bw

 Ur a bit older than me...I saw K C during the C of the CK era.  You must remember The Fillmore east in NYC?  It was a great venue for music..just large enough for the acoustic but small enough to be an intimate setting. I saw Procal Harem there ..down the block was Hendrix Lady Land studios.

 Sigh.....I sound old but music suxs now...last time I bought  anything on Itunes it was Nirvana and the Ramones
We thank you for the great bands u gave us.
 
Now, back to the "dinner gong". My daughter (25) would sleep all day if I let her. I went to her door at 7am and gonged the crap out of the thing..got her right up
Here in the US we don't call anyone to meals with a bell or gong, we just yell at the top of our lungs to get your ass to the table.....it works
Just found out gong from "William Tonks and Sons"
