It is ink stamped on the skirt of the bell "JD" in a circle" & "Mfg Feb 193?". I think it is 1934, but can't be sure. Also, it is embossed JD 701 on the hardware. It is in nice shape, with no cracks or chips, just a bit of very light scratches and scuffing, and a small spot where the glaze is missing. This is about 6 1/2" in diameter, and about 9" long including the hardware. It weighs just under 10 pounds. I can ship this for actual shipping cost or I can deliver it to Springfield.
