Ring, Ring! Hotel Counter Bell Display

Marilyn Grismere, Professor Emeritus and an avid bell collector, has made a small portion of her bell collection available to the UC Blue Ash community.  This display, which will be available until December 9th, features beautiful hotel counter bells from the late 1800’s to early 1900’s. Several types of hotel counter bells can be seen including: Plunger, Twist, Twirl, and Tap bells.

To learn more about the wonderful world of bells, be sure to visit the American Bell Association’s website at www.americanbell.org. The American Bell Association is a friendly group of bell collectors of all ages, youth to senior, who enjoy collecting and learning about bells. Professor Grismere also serves as the contact for the local Bell Study Club of Cincinnati. Contact her via email for more information.
