Andreas Martin Bottelsen's Rangle



This photo copy was given by Trond Indahl at the Bergens Brukskunst museum in January 2008. It represent one of two artifacts that the museum has in their possession.
At the present time they have it in their vault, but hopefully when they expand their silver artifacts exhibition, it will be a part of that.

The description of this piece is as follows:
3 bells in silver on a long round and hallow silver shaft
On the bottom of the shaft, engraven on one side: "Frida".
On the other side: "FRIDA. 9 okt 1901" (OKT. 1900?)

Stamped by the root: AMB
Lengh: 20.5 cm (8.07 inches
Width: 8 cm (3.14 inches

Received Jan 14, 1964.
Gift from will of Goldsmith A. M. Bottelsen, Smøralmenningen 4, Bergen by his granddaughter (sons daughter) Frida Bottelsen, Ekebergveien 162, Bekkelagshøgda.
Other information:

Frida Bottelsen was a school teacher, and the only grandchild of Andreas Bottelsen. She moved to Oslo, but it is still being researched if she moved there to further her carrier or if she moved to be married.
