How very personal!

I have seen button top bells by JT, M&S and L&J, but I don't know for sure =
the configuration of the wires.The M&S ones I've seen don't have top wires.=
JT ones have their standard arrangement of 2,2,inscription band,2,3,2. The=
L&J one we have in the museum is a very odd squat and angular shape.

If they came from Glasgow, they could be by Wilson...

Raised concentric rings on the surface of the bell.

cast bells with button tops??

I have recently purchased 4 bells with button tops via ebay - but t=
hey have no markings at all. They came from the glasgow area I believe.
