[Bell Historians] Re: NV bells

[David Cawley]

Going by other Naylor Vickers bells I have seen in my considerable researches, any bell in the 200's would be dated pretty early; certainly not as late as 1858, when as was stated they were in the high 1000's. These serial numbers are so difficult on some bells, and become shapeless lumps or mere mounds. They are eaily mis-read as can be deduced from perusal of Chalford details (1857) in a certain publication. The only alternatives are (in view of the discovery of another one reported by Carl) that NV shipped off a whole lot of bells in 1858 to the USA with low serial numbers, which are not matched by examples in England; or that I am wrong altogether !
