My great-grandfather received, as a gift, the bell from an industry friend around the time the Howard L. Shaw was dynamited in the port of Chicago.
(Photo by Zack Young) |
I am curious to learn the value of the bell, or of any institutions that could provide me with more information on the nature and/or significance of
the bell. If you have any information on the bell or its properties I would be delighted to hear back.
