Any information on antique bell from france, jean dubois?
~ Dan Chen ~

I have an antique bell, found in a church by my grandfather, over in france. It is about 10 inches tall, hand forged, brass and has "Jean Dubois Au Puy" on the bell base (bell base is 2.5 inches tall).


Any other marking/designs? Does your grandfather live within 30 miles of any known churches or along a main transport route during the 1940's ? Jean Dubois is a fairly common name, without which, there is not much to go on.

I have an old antique large bell with a marking of U109 . Would anyone have history of the maker ?



I don't have an immediate answer on the maker. But I believe you must have a ship's bell from a German U-boat. If that is true I would suggest your search should include U-boat manufacturers and their suppliers, no doubt all in Germany.
