I have a complete working steam engine bell! I have done alot of research and coming up empty handed! Looking for someone who might know who made it! It has no stamping on the bell its self but the cradle is stamped at the top HL 1845 and HL 2122 at the base! Will try to post pics soon! any info would be great!

You may also want to contact the folks at Railroadiana.org and see if they can help you. If you go to their page about bells, http://www.railroadiana.org/hw/pgBells.php, you may find some info.

It would be helpful to see the entire bell and not just the writing on the yoke.

Have you seen this? http://www.railpictures.net/showphotos. ... =HL%201518
I think your markings might help identify the engine your bell was on - and you can try tracking it down from there. Hopefully :D
