RA 7359 GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY "COW" TYPE BLOCK BELL. ship-zone-d Hudson Thunderer GA particularly nice example of an early Great Western Railway tapper block bell, fitted with a "Cow" type bell mounted on a cast brass pedestal. The French Polished case is in exceptional condition and the rear Line Relay coils are of the old brass bobbin type, underneath the base it can be seen it still has its early type of lightening arrestor as well as the standard Carbon type on top. All In all a really nice block bell well over 100 years old in
