    Description

    Made in Chicago, Illinois, it's a set of vintage Deagan Parsifal orchestra bells. Model 331. Two octaves C to C. Tone bar size is basically 1" by 7/16". Low pitch. Round top bars.
    I assume they're from sometime around the 1920s, from their looks, but I am not certain of the exact vintage.
    The Parsifal bells have resonators under the tone bars. There are two versions: in the case and on the stand.
    These are cased and come in the original case. The case handle is missing. The case hinges and latches all work fine. No case key. Some of the oak lamination on the case top is missing, but it still looks good. No case lock key.
    It comes with two extra high C# tone bars. It comes with one, and only one, old mallet.
    I believe they are all original, except for one of the screws holding a resonator tube down is a modern replacement.
    The last two photos in the photo section is just a screen grab from the awesome DeaganResource website. It is text from an old Deagan catalog with information about Parsifal bells, like these.
