[Bell Historians] Enquiery

[George Dawson]

The Potts bell could be by any of the regular founders, look at the
lettering. I've seen bells with their name on by Warners.
Re Huyton, it does not appear in Taylors indexes. The most likely source is
the Irish founders. Theres a 30cwt bell for the Very Rev P Donovan of
Liverpool in the Byrne/O'Byrne Catalogues as well as a number of others sent
to the UK. Can you see the frame, O'Byrne often used ornate pedestal frame
sides.
