How very personal!

I have seen button top bells by JT, M&S and L&J, but I don't know for sur=
e the configuration of the wires.The M&S ones I've seen don't have top wire=
s. JT ones have their standard arrangement of 2,2,inscription band,2,3,2. T=
he 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.

Can anyone supply me with a list of founders who are known to hav=
e cast bells with button tops??

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

Many thanks
