Custom Engraving

Every E.J. Willis bell can carry your inscription that matches the bell itself: precise, permanent, and worthy of the piece.  Basic engraving is included on all of our bells.

Name & Date — A single line of up to 30 characters. Vessel name, hailing port, a commissioning date, or a family name. The most common inscription.

Anniversary & Occassion — Two lines. Name and date, vessel and home port, or any combination you choose.

Full Commission — Artwork, logo, coat of arms, or custom crest, engraved to your exact specification. Contact us to discuss before ordering.

Popular inscriptions include vessel name and hailing port · ship commissioning dates · institutional names and founding years · retirement tributes for Navy veterans · family names with estate or property designations.
