Gametrian productions made a video on one. The major difference of this bell is that is has a wch style locking mechanism but it is on the right side of the bell, not the left.

I never heard of Ls Brach Co. Wonder what the inside of that bell looks like. I'm willing to bet that the inner workings are similar to what wch mechanical bells have.

Ain't these the predecessor of the Bryant Zinc Co. & RRS bells? If so, might just be worth putting them in the RRS thread.

I feel like they deserve their own topic because the locking mechanism is different. Also we really don't have that much info on these bells so maybe this could be a discussion about these bells.

I think I found one in Milford, ME. I can tell because the hinge is on the right side, not the left.

Wow! That's an amazing bell. I would really like a pre wrrs bell, and if you come across one on facebook would you mind notifying me? I'm trying to upgrade my collection too. I have a safetran hybrid, wch first gen, and gs type 2.
