My siblings and I purchased one of your bells for my brother and his wife for a wedding gift - the Dinner Bell. We loved the history behind the production of the bells and that they are made in the US. We continued the tradition and purchased this Large Marine Bell as a house warming gift for our other sibling. They are beautifully made high quality bells that will certainly become family heirlooms and a wonderful tradition of children and grandchildren running to the house when the bell is rung.
