Got this last Wednesday with Lee and Tim at the site in the woods. Just got around to really cleaning it up. Crying shame it's damaged.....:crying01:

That is a beautiful bell and old too! I'm not 100% sure but Roland Frodigh at Hallowed Ground Restorations could probably restore that for you.

[Lodge Scent]

Still a very cool find Al :thumbsup01:

Donnie, thanks for the reply and info. Don't know if the cost of restoration vs value would be in my favor.


Still a very cool find Al :thumbsup01:

Jeff, Always wanted to find one of the big ones, maybe the next one will be in better shape.

Thanks D.O.D., I can sort of display it with most of the good looking side showing.

Powder mill? Did I miss something here?

That's a good looking bell, even with the crack. Very rare! :thumbsup02:

Very nice large crotal Al! She quite a large one as well. Perhaps some gentle bending can get that one side back into place. I've found boiling my bent metal items in water, then holding them in a dish towel while using gentle applied force can get some of those bent parts back into reasonable place.

d.o.d aloldstuff found the bell at an exploded powder mill which went BOOM !! in 1740 killing the son and his father,remains where never found.

Nice big bell, Al. My big one is cracked too, but still has the clacker inside. Too bad no maker initials.

So Al is worried the site is haunted?

No...Al is worried that he won't be able to get back to the top of the valley that this site is in....I love ghosts
