It's dated 1839, and has a curious medallion on the waist, but is otherwise anonymous. Its anonymity leads me to wonder whether "1839" might be connected to the significance of the medallion rather than to the year of casting. The tang top is appropriate for its size (diameter 193mm, or just under 8 inches), but otherwise the style doesn't match any of the well known tower bell founders of America.</span></div><div dir="ltr"><br><span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1437963550243_60263"></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1437963550243_60263">Any ideas?</span></div><div> </div><div><div>Carl Scott Zimmerman<br>Saint Louis, Missouri, USA -<br>- 19th c. home of at least 36 bell founders or resellers<br>Tel. +1(314)821-8437<br>Webmaster for www.TowerBells.org<br> * Avocation: tower bells<br> * Recreation: handbells<br> * Mission: church bells</div></div></div>
