Long Description and Pictures (jpg, gif, png)
The bell is in great shape. Lettering says O.S. Bell & Co. Hillsboro O. on one side.
No. 1 Yoke 1886 on the other. The carriage is also in great shape and is marked #1 Upright 1886. I tried unsuccessfully to attach pictures. I have plenty if there is maybe an email address I could send them to. Thank you very much.
My own research concludes it is from the O.S. Bell foundry in Hillsboro Ohio that closed down in the 50's.
Re: Antique Cast Iron Bell
The manufacturer is C.S. Bell, not O.S. Bell.
Re: Antique Cast Iron Bell
Yeah. And the foundry wall collapsed last week
