[Bell Historians] FW: Questions on bells

[Alan Buswell]

Unfortunately no measurements are given for this bell. If of any use, G&J cast a nickel-silver bell for the Air Ministry via Admiralty, 12 5/8"diameter; 0-1-18; 612hz; Not Tuned; No date given but could be 1938. There is no serial number.

  Subject: Questions on bells



  Hello!  



  I write to you whereas I do not know where else to take my question or seek information.  I saw your site on the internet and thought that I had probably found someone that was knowledgeable about bells, their history and origin.



  The question concerns a bell found in a basement of a house in Reykjavik, Iceland.  It´s a relatively small bell and from what I think from a ship. I attach a photo of it - but I´d really appreciate any help and information you could provide me that would make it possible for me to connect this bell to anything.  The bell now belongs to my brother, who bought that house for over 15 yrs ago. Then the bell was located in the basement. Nobody had any information about it and no one really wanted to have anything to do with it. So he kept it. He has asked me to inquire about it ´s history and possible explanation for why it ended up in Iceland. We think cause of the crown that is on it, that this bell is English.



  The bells measurements are 32cm high and 32cm wide, across at the bottom



  With good hopes of solving the "bell mystery" and many thanks, 



  /Baldur Baldursson
