[Bell Historians] FW: HAVE a bell from the 1700s ...

[David Bryant]

"It seems very odd that a bell of this relatively small size, with intact crown, was drilled for the addition of a lifting bolt (eye-bolt)."
 
There are holes on both sides, so I would assume they were drilled for a false crown staple.
