What began as a small operation peddling bells 50 years ago has become a reputable and solid family business producing a highly
recognized product. Richard indicated that his bells have been shipped world-wide. When I asked to see a picture of his original
model, he kindly obliged to climb into his storage loft and dug out two of his original models to show me. Steel hammered or sand
cast, both models are a beautiful extension of an artist with great talent and appreciation for his art form.
