The largest of many American producers of iron or steel bells was probably the C.S.Bell Company, located in the town of Hillsboro, Ohio, east of Cincinnati. Using a special cast steel alloy called "crystal metal," this firm produced bells of all sizes from 12" diameter post-mount farm or dinner bells, to 48" diameter church bells. These bells, unlike those made of bronze, do not carry any inscription (except possibly a size number on the top). Instead, the identification of the maker is found on the yoke from which the bell hangs. They also manufactured bells with other trade names cast into their yokes, such as "Montgomery Ward" and "Sears and Roebuck", and those bells still had the "Crystal Metal" marking cast into their yokes as well, and these were marketed through those company's catalogs.
