The bell is a 33 inch bell attached to a rocking mechanism to ring the bell. The arms of the yoke have the following raised letters:
THE GOULDS MFG CO 33
IN SENECA FALLS NY
The Goulds Manufacturing company changed its name in 1926 to Gould Pumps. The company operated out of Seneca Falls starting 1869. I could not track down the dates that they manufactured bells, but several sites note that they made bells between 1887 and 1890.
The location of the fire house is 625 Limecrest Road, Andover, NJ 07860.
