Looking for old pulley.....

[Larry Edgerton]

I am searching for an old pulley for my schoolbell. Harder to find than I thought. I gave up on finding an actual bell wheel, so I am looking for something like this: eBay item 260875742621 with the curved spokes, but in an aproximate 20" diameter.

I checked on the American Bell Society site and it was no help, so I am just going to remachine a rope pulley from something else.

Any help would be cool, thanks, Larry

That looks like the type of pulley that was used for well buckets.

Larry, if you cannot find an old bell wheel, a close second might be an older compressor drive pulley. Most of 'em have fan blades...a little more ornate than straight spokes, though not as classy as the pic you linked.
