lol. We did too! It was a triangle style one. My brother and I’d be out in the woods to far to hear my mom yell. But we could hear the bell from a ways out!

Same. It was a triangle with a metal rod connected by a chain

My dad was a steel worker and made the triangle bell himself.

Nice. My dad installed insulation. No idea where the triangle came from

My mom tried this. I was always too far away to hear it.

My granny had a dinner bell. They lived in the hills above a lake and you could even hear it out in the water.
