V-M Bell Co Waynesboro, VA History

Postby VaBell » Wed Sep 30, 2009 3:57 pm

I have a cast bell marked V-M Bell Co Waynesboro, VA stamped into it. I am originally from Waynesboro, VA and I am assuming this was manufactured by Virginia Metalcrafters in Waynesboro. Can someone give me a little history about this bell (dates made, etc). Also, I don't know if this bell is cast iron or cast steel or what???

Thank you all for your help.
