inquiry about the possible origin of a 16" bronze bell said that it was
supposedly cast in London in 1782. There are no markings on the bell
itself, but there is some lettering on the yoke (which might not be
contemporaneous with the bell). Three photos are attached, and speak for
themselves in terms of further description.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
