I wonder if each of the 52 replica Liberty Bells produced at the time all had "Pennsylvania" spelled as it is on this bell - "Pensylvania".
Liberty Bell Replica Liberty Bell Replica, 1950 (Contributing Object)
Located on the southwest corner of the lawn surrounding the Montana Veterans & Pioneers Memorial Building (Historical Society Building), this 9’ replica—“a full-sized, exact duplicate”—of the Liberty Bell was given to the State of Montana in 1950. It was one of 52 such bells that toured the nation from May 15 to July 4 of that year as part of a campaign promoting a savings bond drive organized around the theme, “Save Your Independence.” The bells were paid for through contributions made by America’s copper producers, including the Anaconda Copper Mining (ACM) Company. Montana’s bell toured various cities around the state on a flatbed truck before being installed at its current location.
