The Bell is a small metal bell found among household odds and ends. It counts as junk, but it holds a useful amount of iron.
Its practical value is as smelting stock for Blacksmithing. Smelt Iron From Small Item turns it into an Iron Chunk at a Primitive Furnace or better. Smelt Steel From Small Iron Item gives a Steel Chunk at an Advanced Furnace.
Bells turn up in pawn shops, attics, closets and living rooms.
Uses
Smelting is the one real use for a bell. Smelt Iron From Small Item gives one Iron Chunk and works at a Primitive Furnace or better. That makes it an easy early supply of iron for a new smith.
Smelt Steel From Small Iron Item gives one Steel Chunk. It needs an Advanced Furnace. Smelt Small Iron Item pours the metal into a ceramic crucible instead, at a Simple Furnace or better.
The bell carries more scrap metal value than most small junk. Picking one up on a loot run is worth the tiny weight.

Locations
Pawn shop display cases are the best place to look, holding a bell about one time in eleven. Attics, closet lockers, halls and living rooms hold one about one time in fifty. Survivor safehouses sometimes have one in a box or crate. Garages, closets, wardrobes and storage units turn one up only rarely.
