Vintage Forbes Mission Bell Collection

WOW! Super-rare! Here's a 100-year-old COMPLETE collection of miniature souvenir bronze bell replicas of ALL 21 California missions. Does such a collection exist anywhere else?!!!

Acquired from an estate where the collector carved an oak wood arch to hang each bell in a mission bell tower. Bells are attached to each arch with red ribbon.

These bronze bells were designed and cast by Mrs. A.S.C. Forbes of Los Angeles between 1914 and 1937. Forbes visited many of the missions of the southwest and sketched what she could see of the bells hanging in the towers.
