Blipnoodle 10 Posted December 18, 2010 Looking for an old-school hotel dinner-gong -- like a sturdy hand-held metal xylophone or glockenspiel with only 4 notes, and with a ball-ended hitting stick. Commonly used in small hotels during the 1950s through to 1970s to let guests know the dining-room is now open. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
