    Description

    This large bell that is 18" tall by 18" wide. Made by California Bell Co., the originators of the 1906 El Camino Real Bells founded by Mrs. ASC Forbes in 1906. Condition is "New".  This bell is the same size and style as some of the bells you see along the California El Camino Real  from Los Angeles to San Diego and the Tijuana border.
    This powder coated aluminum bell is the most economical way to display a bell where a bell needs to go like a mission style home , Spanish style campanario, or a Tuscan Villa bell tower.  The bell is made from same mold that made some of the 1963 style El Camino Bells.  There is no text on the bell.  The crown top can be connected to a beam, or hung from a hook (Connectors not included.). If you need a clapper they are usually available on the California Bell website.  The ring tone is fine, but not as nice as the patina bronze bells still made by California Bell.
    Made by the California Bell Company which was founded by Mrs. ASC Forbes in 1906 and is the originator of the 1906 El Camino Real Bells.  Cal Bell even made the 9" ECR Desk bells beginning in 1914 that you see on eBay today.  They also still make the original El Camino Real Bells and other bells for CalTrans, counties, cities, and for the backyards of bell lovers across the country.  Shipped with FedEx Ground or FedEx Home Delivery.  I am happy to answer your questions.
