[Bell Historians] Glasgow bell in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia

[Chris Pickford]

The most likely Glasgow founder of the time (1901) would be John C. Wilson & Co of the Gorbals Foundry. However, there is no mention of this bell in the firm's records for the period 1900-1903 - not only under the name of New Glasgow, but no bell of this size (must of the work of the period was small bells of 4" to 20") or for any Canadian destination.

Another Glasgow brassfounder J. Reid Miller MAY have been making bells at the time, but none are known.

As Michael Foulds has done a lot of research on the Glasgow founders - and together we have compiled a complete abstract of the surviving (fairly complete) foundry records - it would be nice to know more about the New Glasgow bell to see where it fits in.
