I'm new to the board. I'm hoping someone can help me find this particular bell:
It's a perin and gaff 16" bell.
It holds a lot of sentimental value and I'd really like to find one. Your help is really appreciated.

Based on the small top of the bell as a percentage of the diameter of the mouth, and based on the rings around the bell near the rim, this is a very early bell. I'd say it was made prior to the Civil War. I don't know where you can buy one. This firm was not a large producer of bells, but I do hear of one every few years. -- Neil
I collect U.S. church and fire tower bells and research the foundries which made them.
