[Bell Historians] Astoria bell

[Michael and Hilary Rose]

    Thank you for that. Enlarging the original confirms what you say: the inscription reads "E A Williams & Son  Bell Founders  Jersey City  N J ?607?"

        This bell has been reported to me before.  If I remember correctly (I'm away from home at the moment), it was produced for the United States Light House Establishment (hence USLHE) by E.V.Williams of New Jersey, USA.

          The photos are not of a high enough resolution to read the inscriptions.
