Replica bronze Liberty Bell
Replica bronze Liberty Bell white chapel foundry, london, 1975 On hanging frame and trailer. PROVENANCE: In 1975, Chairman of the Liberty Bell Foundation, Edward J. Piszek commissioned this full-size replica of the Liberty Bell from the White Chapel Foundry. Whitechapel had cast the original Liberty Bell in 1752 and did not break the mold. This Bicentennial Bell was cast from the original molds, an exact replica in every way except the crack. The Bell was in intergral element in the celebration of Bicentennial festivities of July 4th 1976, Independence Hall. President Gerald Ford rang the bell 13 times in honor of the 13 colonies. Eleven years later as America celebrated the Bicentennial of the signing of the Constitution, the Bicentennial Bell was rung by Chief Justice Warren Burger. The Bell has toured the original thirteen states in honor of the ratification. The Bell has continued to be a symbolic centerpiece in major events over the years. It was rung by Lech Walesa on his visit to this country in 1989 and by Pope John Paul II to close the Catholic International Youth Conference in 1993, and by Bill Clinton at his inauguration , and at other ceremonies by many other luminaries. ,000-

Rare John Wilbank 1836 Philadelphia
Rare John Wilbank 1836 Philadelphia Bellcast bronze signed and dated 1836 bell form with yoke stamped within two upper rings.Only three John Wilbank bells are said to exist in the United States. Harry Long MD of www.americanbell.org writes ''John Wilbank was a Bronze Founder in Germantown Philadelphia PA. His greatest claim to fame was his ownership of the cracked Liberty Bell. In 1828 in preparation for a visit to Philadelphia by the Marquis de Lafayette the city fathers renovated the old State House where the Marquis 'held court'. The Pass & Stow Statehouse Bell was cracked and had a poor tone. The city fathers contracted with John Wilbank to cast a new bell for the clock tower at the Old State House (Independence Hall). In order to reduce the cost they gave the Liberty Bell to Wilbank for scrap value ($400). When Wilbank saw it in the clock tower he felt that it would cost him more than $400 to remove and cart it to his foundry. The city sued him and the judge gave him ownership of the bell but allowed him to leave it with the city on permanent loan. Subsequently the Liberty Bell became the centerpiece of the Abolition Movement because of its inscription. In recent years Wilbank's heirs sued in court to take possession of the Liberty Bell. The original court records could not be found and the Liberty Bell remains in the possession of the National Park Service. This is all that I know about John Wilbank. His foundry was obviously in existence in 1828 and the new clock tower bell was delivered in 1832. The bell that my mother had was John Wilbank & Son so the foundry probably existed for at least two generations. His bells are attractive and are similar in design to the British Bronze church bells. The current bell in the clock tower of Independence Hall is the Wilbank Bell.''Bell: 14 in. DOA: 18.5 in.Some metal chipping and loss to edge rim in two places missing top mount and clapper.
