1 The Liberty Bell is composed of approximately 70 percent copper, 25 percent tin and traces of lead, zinc, arsenic, gold and silver. 2  The Bell is suspended from what is believed to be its original yoke, made of American elm. This spelling was one of several acceptable spellings of the name at that time. 2  The strike note of the Bell is E-flat. 3  The federal government gave every state and its territories a replica of the Liberty Bell in the 1950s as part of a national U.S. Savings Bond campaign.
