Preloved Wear, but super cool piece This Antique 9 3/8" tall El Camino Real Bell post, stamped Pat. 1914 Forbes on the bottom would make a lovely addition to your Mission Bell collection! The bell moves freely and has a nice little ring Stamped 1769-1906 EL CAMINO REAL on the front of the bell. The plaque reads: 'EL CAMINO REAL SAN DIEGO LOS ANGELES SAN FRANCISCO. Perfect for the California history lover. This Guide Post Bell looks to be made of bronze, there is some green verdigris to it (but I don't know if that's the exact metal). It's in really nice antique condition.
