AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This is a nineteenth-century uranium hotel bell.
The base is made of uranium glass, which glows under black light due to its natural radioactivity.
The top is a worn metal bell, probably brass or a similar alloy, with a small white button on top.
The mechanism and the bell clapper are intact, suggesting that it may still function as a service bell or reception bell.
It is a collectible item due to its age and the unusual material (uranium glass).
