Description: This vintage brass bell stands about 4" tall. Has interesting detail stamped onto it & features a unique cross on top that in my research resembles a Maltese cross the most but also has a bit of an iron cross look. The Maltese Cross, which is a Greek Cross of four V-shaped arms of equal length, has a rich history that is tied to the Knights of Malta or Knights Hospitaller, who were a Christian military order of the Middle Ages.History: The history of Maltese Cross can be traced back to the 16th century when it was associated with Knights of Malta providing medical aid during Crusades.Popularity: Today, Maltese Cross is an international symbol of charity and humanitarian aid and mostly connected with fire and rescue services as well as to the St. John Ambulance organization.Shape: Four shapes that then meet in the centre make The Maltese Cross, same as an arrowhead in shape with each having its sharp end pointing outwards.Check out my other listings for more great finds including vintage items, airline/aviation collectibles, clothing, electronics & more.
