In 1858, the C.S. Bell family cast their first farm bells, school bells and church bells in Hillsboro, Ohio, and started an American tradition. That tradition continues to this day.
Using patterns tracing back to the C.S. Bell founders, Prindle Station continues to craft original crystal metal bells the old fashioned way. And, because our molds are based on authentic patterns, the bells made today by Prindle Station are identical to those first made by ’America’s Original Farm Bell Manufacturer’ - C.S. Bell. In fact, many of C.S. Bell’s original Iron Farm Bells and Marine bells continue to ring throughout the country, their tone still clear and far-reaching despite years of weathering. Like these, a Prindle Station bell will become a treasured possession, on your boat or patio, as your garden accessory or at the farm.
