Starting to believe it is not CS bell possible American casting PLEASE if any one can give me sme idea on this. The only real distinguishing marking is the 2 on the hanger bar and decorative raised lines at bottom of bell

I can't really help you figure out an exact brand though Vintage school bells are sought after and the estimated value can range from $90-$125 in the condition like your bell.
