Liberty Bell – White Chapel Bell Foundry, London England
I picked up this Liberty Bell at an Estate auction of Harriet Willson in Wabasso, FL. I am trying to find out the true value of the Liberty Bell. I have learned some interesting things about this. Like the White Chapel Bell Foundry is the oldest company in all on England. The White Chapel Foundy is also the maker of our Liberty Bell in Philadelphia. I never knew that our Liberty Bell was a gift from England. Another interesting fact is Pennsylvania was supposed to be spelled “Pensylvania” and Philadelphia could have been “Philada”. It’s actually listed on the old maps this way.
Anyway if anybody could help me find out the true value of this, it would be a lot of help.
