Found it in my fathers junk collection he passed away. Can anyone tell me what that is and if it's worth anything?

I think the lamp and shade if in good condition with no scratches or stains would bring $30. to $40. Has a bit of a deco feel and many like that !! Have you looked for a name on it ??
Can we see the underside of that bell ?? What was your fathers occupation ?? Bell looks quite different from those normally seen !!

So are you saying its worthless?
Maybe this can help you with the lamp.
How large is the bell ?? Last pic ??The bell is about 10 lbs and 6-9im tall
First of all we need better pics....we have no magicians on here...we can,t see under shelves..or rings that are out of focus...the copper container...has value, but until we get a better pic...to ascertain its size,condition..etc....it might as well be scrap...the ring is too close, we need to see it more clearly...is it gold, does it have a hallmark..as for the tear-gas....well, its just as well your there and i,m here,....for over here,...all they,d get you would be some serious porridge...time...
