Artifact question:

I have a lead  bell (shaped like the Liberty bell) about 30mm in diameter at base and 25mm tall. It has an iron nail through the center. It is marked "Landreth / Phila / Trade Mark" I think that it is an insulator, but
I am by no means certain. Does anyone have any info on this company or other lead bells? Context is late 19th century/early 20th century. I'll be glad to send a photo...

Thanks,
