St. Adalbert's Bells

One of the parishioners at St. Adalbert & Hedwig sent me various images of their bells. 

Both bells were casted by the E.W. Vanduzen Co. in Cincinnati. The high bell ring an A tone and the bourdon bell rings an F# tone. 

These 2 images are of the high bell. The motor seems to be new, but the frame, wheel and chain are all rusted. Both of the bell's frames are mounted to a wooden frame you can see in the 1st picture. 

These next 2 images are of the bourdon bell. Just like the other bell, this one has a rusty chain, wheel and frame, however this bell has a noticeable tilt to it. According to the parishioner, they are still working on tolling the bell. There is a hammer to toll the bell, but its not in operation right now. 

There are no stairs leading to the bells. It's just one long ladder. 

Another view of the ladder.

Now that I've had a look, I consider St. Adalbert's exterior to be the best of any parish church in Toledo.
Unfortunately, the lighting's bad in the mid-afternoon, so I'll have to go back some morning.
Notice the Holy Face and the monstrances.
