Hi all,
My friend Ron, from Monocacy,PA. owns the bell. His Granfather worked at the I.G.Brook Iron Company back in the day when Number 1187 was sold to the Iron Company. The Iron Co. replaced the original bell with their own and was going to scrap the original bell, but his Grandfather saved it. I looked in side the bell and on the outer edge it's stamped Baldwin No.1187 . Hope you enjoy the video.
