HeLp Me FiNd ThIs PrIcE!?
ok, so my dad works on the fire dept. in Lyons, Wisconsin. they were burning down an old house that no one was living in anymore. When he was in there, he found a bronze bell with a picture of a ram head on it. the little thing the dings the bell is the hoof of the ram. On the outside of the bell it says Rocky Mt. Bighorn. On the inside is carved c79 Carl Wagner 137/2500. ive searched every where for the price(even on Ebay) and didn’t find it. I’ve even looked up Carl Wagner and it showed only his other sculptures. is there a site where I can find artwork from just ONE artist? or at least where I can find the bell and it’s price and value?
I can not find a website directly for this artist however……….
You can contact the following art dealer in Aspen, CO:

You can get information on line if you can’t go in person.
Once you get a photo of the bell then Go to http://www.flickr.com/ site or at http://ww.photobucket.com/ for free and upload a picture .
