The cast iron stock on the old tenor more likely dates from 1907 than 1881.=
The photo was taken when the bells were removed for recasting in the 1930=
s.

The stock on the "new" tenor looks no less interesting

I had noticed it. Anyone know who made it? is it fabricated or cast? It's
difficult to tell from the picture.
