Hello Mark:
Looks like a very nice ships bell.
I have several in my own collection.
OFW

see more in 2012 WAF thread t=555693.
(below-2) Some USN examples like mine.
Also see recent HMS Hood bell recovery.

Hi,
Thanks any info on the place were the picture was taken.pity theres no markings of a ship on the bell seems a little bigger than the one you posted oldflags,about the same size as the HMS Hood one.
Thanks Mark
