Hello, I’m getting a Thomas Industries 6" bell soon, but it doesn’t have the back mounting plate I’ll need to use it .
Does anyone have this backplate, please; I haven’t seen it on eBay any place…
Any help I can get would be appreciated greatly.
Thanks,
Ed Burnett
One of these bells? I do have the mounting plate (which can be seen). Let me know because I will sell it if needed.
How much are you asking, usually I don’t have over $30. I’m on disability so a lot of my income goes to my long term care, and $30 is what I’ve got left.
Is the price for the complete bell?
I’ve been looking at one on eBay, but it’s missing its backplate.
It listed there for$10 + shipping.
Please let me know your price, and how to send payment.

Hello, I wondered if you had any answer regarding the Thomas bell you said you might sell to me, please.
In my earlier reply, I was just letting you know what my money situation was, and that I do want the bell if we can work something out on it.
The bell I was looking at on eBay didn’t pan out because it had no backplate, although the price was “ok” on it…
So Iet it go as it looked like it might not be worth getting and make it difficult to fix what I already have.
Please let me know what you can do, or if you can’t help, just let me know.
Thanks,
Ed Burnett
Sorry for the late response (the platform didn’t show that you replied).
I’m thinking about $10-$15 for the bracket alone (including shipping) but I’ll work with what you have. (Also the bracket is brand new)
Let me know that way I know to list it on eBay.
I will have $33 to work with in January, would that be enough to get the bell and backplate?
As to eBay, I know they charge taxes along with shipping, so the “buy it now” price would have to be under $33 along with taxes and shipping. in order for me to get it.
I should get my money between Dec. 29 and the 31st of Dec ., so as long as it’s on eBay during that time, and the total doesn’t exceed $33, I don’t see a problem with getting it then.
If that’s ok, let me know and I’ll plan to get it between 12/29/24 and 12/31/24.
BTW: The holiday season has mail delivery all fouled up right now, so if you’re expecting anything to ship fast, be prepared for possible delay thanks to the post office.
Thanks,

I’m not looking to sell the bell unfortunately, just the mounting bracket. If that is okay, let me know. If not, I understand.
When you said $10+$5, was that what you wanted for the backplate itself?
I can do that easily enough between the 30th and 31st if you list it as buy it now on eBay, if that’s good for you.
I’m still looking at the Thomas Industries bell for around $10 on eBay which I should be able to get by mid-January.
One thing I’ve noticed is the top of the bell base where the tab hook fits can get broken if the plate is warped, and it takes too much effort to dismount the bell.
It can be repaired with cold weld, but I’d advise making a small metal bracket that is wider than that area and can be clamped over the area.
Long story short, let me know when the backplate is on eBay, and I’ll do my best to get it.
Thanks,
Ed Burnett
