Description
Photograph of an old bell from Mission San Fernando, 1926. The large metal bell rests on the ground at center. It has a rough surface, and towards the bottom, the words "[?]mo 1809" are embossed. The arch-shaped bracket that would be used to suspend the bell appears much newer than the bell itself. It is attached to the top of the bell and bears the words "[?]arratt & Co. 1874 San Francisco Cal". There is a metal grate leaning on the wall behind the bell at left, and there is adobe debris on the ground at left. Several rectangular pictures are hung on the wall at center.
