According to the American Bell Association International forum, this bell is probably worth $200-300, depending on condition.
Lakewood Foundry of Chicago was owned and operated in Erie, PA, by Montgomery Ward c.1904-1920. The foundry primarily made stoves and related cast iron parts. Bells bearing the Lakewood Foundry name are believed to have been manufactured by a third-party, but branded for sale through Wards, Sears and other retailers.
The origin of your bell is uncertain because Montgomery Ward prohibited foundries from including their mark on the product; however, if the words "crystal metal" are stamped anywhere on the bell, it may have been manufactured by C. S. Bell Co. of Hillsboro, Ohio. There were a huge number of foundries operating during the "iron age" that contracted each others services as needed. This makes tracing the foundry responsible for creating your bell difficult to impossible.

There were many different models of Windsor stove made at different periods in the company history, but the Lakeside brand may have been discontinued when the Erie, PA, foundry was sold c. 1920.

When was a bell marked No 420 Lakeside Foundry of Chicago manufactured?
Lakeside Foundry of Chicago was a brand name of Montgomery Ward & Co., but the bells were manufactured by outside companies. Ward opened the real "Lakeside Foundry of Chicago" in Erie, PA, around 1904 and used it to manufacture cast iron stoves and related items until approximately 1920. To the best of my knowledge, none of the bells were made in that location. If your bell is undated, but says Lakeside Foundry of Chicago on the yolk, it may have been manufactured sometime after 1886 (those and earlier editions were apparently dated). If the bell is stamped "Crystal Metal" inside, there's a good chance it was manufactured by C. S. Bell Co., of Hillsboro, OH, sometime between 1887 and the mid 1890s. Other possibilities, beginning in 1895, would be the Globe Furniture foundry, which was consolidated with American Bell & Foundry in 1899. An AM or AMB stamp anywhere in or on the bell would indicate it was manufactured sometime between 1899 and c. 1920, with the greatest production years around the turn of the century, c. 1900-1905. Wards generally didn't allow their suppliers to include maker's marks, however, so lack of notation doesn't rule anything out. The estimated value of the bell is $100-$300, depending on condition.

What is some information on a Lakeside Foundry Thorne Oak stove?
Lakeside Foundry of Chicago was a brand name of Montgomery Ward & Co. Their stove foundry operated in Erie, Pennsylvania from c.1904-c.1920, not in Chicago, as many believe (the corporate office was in Wards' Chicago Catalog House). According to their catalog copy, these stoves were made in their own factory; however, Ward also sold rebranded stoves made by Estate Stove Co. and Rymer, among others. The Oak-style stoves were popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries; this particular model first appeared after 1895, probably as late as 1904-1906. The name "Thorne" derives from Aaron Montgomery Ward's partner, Robert Julius Thorne, President, and/or his sons, who were responsible for Wards' day-to-day operation. The Thorne Oak is an attractive cylinder parlor stove made of cast iron and nickle, and valued around $350.00, depending on condition. Wards' products were utilitarian -- good quality, but not quite as old and lacking the resale value of similar parlor stoves made by top companies like Jewel, Andes, Glenwood, Round Oak (PD Beckwith) and others. The company sold the stove with a choice of three different fireboxes: one for burning coal, one for burning wood, and one for burning coal or wood. If you intend to use the stove for heating have it inspected and repaired, if necessary, by a professional specializing antique stove restoration. The Thorne Oak can be converted to heat with gas or electricity. If you intend to burn wood (or coal), is imperative the installation be made on a non-flammable surface, such as tile, brick or stone and properly vented to reduce the risk of fire.
