Far left is a bell marked"BRK'LYN B'Y RR" from the "Broadway Railway Company of Brooklyn". It is one of only two known to be held in collections. The next bells have some mystery attached. First is marked "B'KLYN N.Y.". As there were several horse car lines in Brooklyn, their exact source is unknown. In the center right, an older model bell marked "BUFFALO STrRyCo. EASTSIDE" This was a short, 9 mile line in Buffalo New York. The top is manufacturer marked "N&C NY". This manufacturer does not show up in any of my lists, and info on it would be appreciated!
