Talk:Meneely bell foundries

Czechoslovak Liberty Bell

The section on the Czechoslovak Liberty Bell is presently under dispute. I have offered a revision of the section that meets some of the basic problems while sources are found. --Pat (talk) 22:33, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

I revised the article to remove the history of the bell from 1920-1980, which, while quite detailed, remained undocumented after five months. The history of the church where the bell hangs would be best used to create an article about the church or to add to a Prague-related article. I removed the romantic and somewhat nationalistic verbiage as inappropriate for an encyclopedia. Note that sourcing would be welcome for the remaining information. --Pat (talk) 08:20, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

found 5 Meleey bells at a rancho.

I was on a tour of an old rancho that was given to a man through a Mexian land grant. On this rancho was 5 bells marked Meleey Bell Co. 1896. When I asked the tour guide about the bells she told me they just appeared one day several years ago. Someone just dropped them off and they never found out who. There are 3 or 4 different sizes. Is there any historical value to these bells. If there is I would like to let the historical society know. I tried to find some information about the company and couldn't find anything on Meleey Bells in California. If you have any information I will pass it on to the society. My email address is schwartzassociates@socal.rr.com. Thank you Bill Schwartz —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.87.170.104 (talk) 03:54, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

A wee bit of confusion

Hi, I was just a bit confused on where to put Trinity Church, Manhattan on the list, as they have bells from both the old and new foundries (the tenor bell of the original ring of eight from 1846, and a small chiming bell from 1909.

Is there a specific place it should go if both eras of bellmaking are represented? — Preceding unsigned comment added by MrHistorianDude (talk • contribs) 19:48, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

Meneely Bell in Wyoming, Pennsylvania

There is a Meneely bell currently on outdoor display on Institute Street in Wyoming, Pennsylvania; a small borough located in Luzerne County. The bell was originally installed the Luzerne Presbyterial Institute which was built in 1849. The bell is stamped from the foundry from the same year. No longer in the bell tower of the building, it is currently being displayed outside. The original building may not be structurally sound and has been undergoing renovations for many years. It is uncertain which of the two foundries produced the bell, but there are clear pictures from all angles posted on Google Maps. These pictures can be combined into a large scale mosaic, perhaps to make identification easier. There is a listed Meneely Bell from the same time period listed in Pittston, Pennsylvania. This may be of note because it is under a mile away from this example. I lack the knowledge to properly document and edit the official article, but hope this should provide a start to any interested party with the necessary skills.
