CAST BY H.STUCKSTEDE & CO
ST. LOUIS Mo
1891
The bell is low enough that one can simply reach over and push on the yoke to ring the bell. The bell is mounted on a slab of concrete surrounded by bricks, which probably helps to bounce the sound for quite a distance.
The bell was cast by
Henry Stuckstede and Company of the (first) Stuckstede family foundries that existed in various forms from 1855 to 1931. (There was a second Stuckstede foundary that branched off and existed from 1890 to 1961.)
