<P class=MsoNormal>I’m interested to identify the founder of a small bell cast
in Zurich in 1814. It is 16.375” diameter, and inscribed: <SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Wingdings">F</SPAN> GEGOSSEN IN ZVRICH ANNO 1814. /
(<I>border all round</I>). The canons are ornamented with heads and faces.

list of Zurich founders of the period?<O></O></P>
