Neil and Ginny share a picture of one of their big bells.
This bell was made by Frederick Fuller of Providence, Rhode Island in 1886. It was a father son business and was principally a regional firm with most of their bells remaining in the north east. They were known to have been in business from 1860 to 1890. Their bells were made of bronze and had a good tone.
“I never met a bell collector who wasn’t a warm person. Other collectors follow a hobby for monetary reason, wanting to sell or trade. But the bell people are one group who admire, rather than being envious, of another’s good fortune in finding a special bell.”
