Hello everybody, Iam looking for info on my bell, came from santa ana, ca, train station. My grandfather was the owner of it. and had it mounted in his backyard forever. Don't know age or value. Very hard to find identity. It has a #634 stamped on bell, it is 17 in. at lip and appears to be bronze. looks all original. Has some red type paint all the way up inside bell. Cradle has L207 or 307 casted in to it., also 49923 is casted in it at base. Dont know if restoring or leaving like it is is best option. Any info would be very much appreciated. age, value,, restoration, where it came from. cannot attach photo not sure why yet. info on that too Thanks.
