Does anyone have a feeling for the value of bell metal in 1669.  I have discovered a reference to £38-3-10 of good bell metal and £8-0-0 of coarse bell metal having been retrieved from St Magnus the Martyr after the Great Fire of London, and I am trying to get a handle on how much metal that represents.
Thanks.
