Cindy, I think it's Meneely, not McNeely. The Clinton H. Meneely Bell Company was located in Troy NY. Not sure if it was just a typo in your email or if the inscription was transcribed in error. Anyway, hope that helps you find more information/appraisers of bells. Julia Horvath. >Good Morning: > >I am working on an appraisal for a church bell.
