[Bell Historians] G&J bell for sale on Ebay

[Chris Pickford]

This doesn't look like a G&J bell to me, and I assume that the details (date 1931, weight 0-2-16, and Bannercross location) are those for the G&J serial number 4402 (visible in the photographs) from the Croydon foundry archives. Can't suggest any alternative founders, but from the look of it this is very unlikely to be a G&J bell of 1931

Sheffield Diocese book. 

Follow the link to see full details including
pictures.
