The bell if in good condition is worth about $500.00, the alarm box and pedistial about $300.00 to 500.00 depending upon condition, the helmet does it have a leather front? or plastic front? is it a leather helmet or plastic helmet?and what is the overall condition that will determine the worth. as for the log book these don't bring much, but if it is still in 1 piece and not falling apart ( most are pretty beat up) then probably about $50.00 to $100.00 depending upon how big it is .

: the 'guts' and the stand.
