auction. i did an amateur/botchjob cleanup on them with water prior

but i believe the mortar could be a reproduction or something? the bell is genuinley old though i'm sure, i can get a pic of the inside

i found this:

which is almost identical to the bell so im guessing like they say, probably English circa 1680?
