Charles Singleton (CS) Bell’s legacy continues on through ‘the home office’ in Hillsboro.
Since it’s founding 1852 Charles Singleton (CS) Bell’s legacy continues on today via 3 entities. The original C S Bell Co continues production of milling and grinding equipment in Tiffin, Ohio. C S Bell bells continue to be made today at a foundry in Washington State and sold by Prindle Station Bells. ‘The Home Office’ in Hillsboro lives on via this website.
Our objective here at the home office is is to communicate and share everything C S Bell: the history, products, bell information, photos, value estimates and age determination.
Project Reindeer
A product of CS Bell’s Secret Formula,54 inches in diameter, weighting 3,150 pounds, it is mounted on a specially designed base of precast concrete vaults. Mike Ames conceived the idea of a precast structure. JK Precast of Washington Court House Ohio designed and cast the base. Time capsules, containing historical artifacts, were placed in the vaults.
The bell is housed in a belfry measuring 8’ square by 8’ feet high. Larry, Josh & Cody Barr of Barr Construction built the frame out of steel-braced heavy timbers wrapped in cedar.
Pam Kellough, of Pamela Kellough Murals, provided artwork of period signage on the wall running from the alley to the building, as well as artwork on the smooth concrete vaults. The artwork was provided to communicate the history of the company and the bell, as well as recognizing contributors who are encouraged to attend the dedication.

Preserving our history for centuries to come. The bell monument is dedicated to all who toil to make ends meet. The C.S. Bell Company, number 54 bell, the largest production iron bell in history, world’s largest Crystal Metal bell, code name Reindeer, is back home in Hillsboro after being rescued from the Trinity Lutheran Church in Greencastle, Pennsylvania. Reindeer will reside at 160 W. Main St. in Hillsboro, C.S. Bell’s second foundry location. The massive bell removal was pulled off by the Salvage Dawgs of the T.V. show by the same name, season 7, Episode 1. The bell’s original home was repurposed, and the bell had to go.
What we
can offer
On the other hand, we denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who are so beguiled.
So blinded by desire, that they cannot foresee the pain and trouble that are bound to ensue.
When our power of choice is untrimmed and when nothing prevents our being able to do like.
To those who fail in their duty through weakness of will, which is the same as saying toil and pain.
Obligations of business frequently occur that pleasures have to be repudiated and annoyances.
