The bell was cast or was bought by the Armstrong Fire Brigade in 1910 and was donated to the museum by the firefighters. In 1995 it was mounted as part of the sign for the Armstrong-Spallumcheen Museum, along with a bronze plaque, at the corner of Pleasant Valley Road and Bridge Street.

The bell, a Number 32, was cast by the American Bell & Foundry Company of Northville, Michigan, established in 1899. In 1920 the firm was sold to an Ohio company and the name changed to the Bell Furnace & Manufacturing Company. In 1924 they began to phase out the manufacturing of bells, and by 1931 they no longer cast bells.
