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 the history of Chicago movie making and West and East Side Theaters?

How did the streets around Wrigley Field get named Clark Addison Sheffield and Waveland?

You can check the book "Streetwise Chicago" about Clark, Waveland, and Sheffield, but Addison is named after an English physician, Thomas Addison, who noted the disease of the adrenal glands now called Addison's disease. Interesting way streets of Chicago are named after people you don't connect with Chicago.

Even more curious is Irving Park Road, named after Washington Irving.
