Gaffney, the Longfellow House gardener, there have been three bell pulls that he was aware of:
"Longfellow's time, dark and round; Alice's time, elliptical knob, apparently brass; and the one the present
one." Inscribed in black ink, in cursive, lower center verso, "For Craigie-Longfellow House/From Howard T. Fisher."
