Statement of Purpose

The origins of this website started in 1997 at the University of Georgia as a graphic design project centered around my family heritage, the Meneely Bell Company. I began to realize there was so much that I could give to this subject, and that my input from a family perspective would be of considerable value to preservationists and others within the bell industry.

The Meneely Bell Company has been closed for decades and I personally can not give out quotes on bells, as I am not an expert in the business, just a family member trying to provide public info. If you are looking for prices, appraisals and history on a specific Meneely bell, please go to the following links:

I'll try to update this site as often as possible, but don't be surprised to find some areas still in development. My day job as a graphic designer takes up a large quantity of my time. If you have any questions or suggestions, I can be reached by e-mail at danart@mindspring.com .
