[Bell Historians] Swiss bellfounders

A google search reveals a Conrad Restaurant on the site of the Conrad Canon & Bell Foundry in Zurich but gives no further information. Is this bell located in the UK or overseas?

  I'm interested to identify the founder of a small bell cast in Zurich in 1814. It is 16.375" diameter, and inscribed: F GEGOSSEN IN ZVRICH ANNO 1814. / (border all round). The canons are ornamented with heads and faces. 

  Can anyone suggest a possible founder? Or point me to a list of Zurich founders of the period?

  I do have some photos if it would help

  Thanks
