Handbells on ebay

[F. Thomas Simpson]

Curious,

The look like Whitechapels., but say J. Shaw and Sons. Is this one of the Whitechapel's other names? I know they've had a few.

Those are really old bells!

AFAIK They're not Whitechapels. I peeked at the Authoritative Wikipedia article on Whitechapel and there never was a master founder by that name. Although googling came up with "J Shaw & Son was a Musical Bell Founder in Bradford in Yorkshire, England." from: http://fido-bells.blogspot.com/2006/06/j-shaw-son.html
