Campanelclax bicycle bell made of brass. It’s really beautiful and it makes a very loud and annoying sound, like a giant frog.

I decided to restore it and started cleaning the top cover with hot vinegar and salt, a trick found searching on Google.
Unfortunately the bottom of the bell have been painted so now I’ll need to remove the painting and then remove brass oxide.
Check out the photos after the break.

First restoring results
