write to you whereas I do not know where else to take my question or seek

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Calibri size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt">The
question concerns a bell found in a basement of a house in
<ST1><ST1>Reykjavik</ST1>, <ST1>Iceland</ST1></ST1>. It´s a relatively
small bell and from what I think from a ship. I attach a photo of it – but I´d
really appreciate any help and information you could provide me that would
make it possible for me to connect this bell to anything. The bell now
belongs to my brother, who bought that house for over 15 yrs ago. Then the
bell was located in the basement. Nobody had any information about it and no
one really wanted to have anything to do with it. So he kept it. He has asked
me to inquire about it ´s history and possible explanation for why it ended up
in <ST1><ST1>Iceland</ST1></ST1>. We think cause of the crown that is on it,
that this bell is English.<O></O></SPAN></FONT></P>
