This is a famous bell. Le Procope is the oldest cafe in Paris. It was frequented by philosophers such as Voltaire and contained a printing press. On the top floor there was a bell in the window. When something had been printed and was ready for distribution they would ring the bell and drop the printed matter to the ground where someone would catch it and take it away.
