How old are Griswold / RACO bells, help please :) ! Thanks

Post by MikeRXR »

I am getting a Griswold or RACO bell, I am not sure which it is because I cannot read any writing on the back in the photos I have seen. When did these companies fall under the Safetran flag? Any ideas (guesses welcome!) about when this style bell first started being used / produced? When was the design refined into the Safetran M bell? Any help or thoughts appreciated, looking for ballparks, not exact dates
