Bravo, Ms. Wy; 'tis indeed!
To you a New Year's Bell (although I must warn you, it's kind of stinky!
), and the floor!

"It"? You don't mean "they"?
I assume you mean the sword Anglachel (later Gurthang), made for (or at least given to) Thingol, though presumably Eol made it for himself. But it could also be the sword Anguirel, also made by Eol for himself, from the same meteoric iron.

You are correct, it was Anglachel I and Thingol I was looking for. Your turn

I tried to get a sound out of it, but from it rang a cold voice: "Yea, I will drink thy blood gladly ..." - so I dropped it PDQ.
OK, here's my question: a name that suggests westward-looking, but which, to someone with a little knowledge of Welsh myth, might also suggest looking lower ...
No quote needed, just reasoning. (Hope it's OK that it needs a bit of external knowledge/research, but it's not that hard.)
A month went by, and no reply ...
A clue: all you need to know about Welsh Myth is where you go when you die (or before, if you're Pwyll - and you can Google the non-Tolkienien bit)

Hmm, I thought you might mean Henneth Annûn when you posted this, Hare. Annûn is somewhat close to Annwn phonetically (at least to my ears), Annwn being the Welsh realm of the dead. Since the sun sets in the West in Tolkien's world, also....

Hurray! Well done, Grim.
(Phoentically somewhat close? They're almost identical, surely - Welsh "w" and Elvish "û" are both pronounced something like "oo". OK you could distinguish between "oo" and "uu" but I don't like to see hares split.)
A bell of the underworld for you (don't worry, it doesn't toll for thee ...)

Thankee, Sir Hare....
*Goes to inspect bell further, but a cold voice rings out from within....*
"The bell is shut. It was made by those who are Dead, and the Dead keep it, until the time comes."
*An inscription stating, "Product of Annwn" appears in cold grey letters on the side of the bell.....*
Er, right......we'll just return this to its box, shall we?
*Places bell in box gingerly, looking nervously around for Arawn*
OK, enough of that! A challenge later, when I'm back with my books......

When it's used by Dwarves in making jewellery?

Thankee, Grim...
June 20, 1897 is a fundamental date for Bilbo, Sam, Frodo and also Marcho and Blanco. Why?
Quote preferred, but let's see how long it takes...

Okay, I can get Victoria's Diamond Jubilee easily enough (June 20, 1897).
And I can get the reference to the 13 letters of Παῦλος, also known as the Epistles of St. Paul (Hebrews might be the 14th).
After that, I am stuck. Grim, that help you at all?
