MAKER Forbes Foundry of Los Angeles, California. Mrs. A.S.C. Forbes (May 6, 1861 – September 18, 1951) was an American historical preservationist best known for her efforts to preserve California's El Camino Real and the old Spanish missions it connected. In 1904, the El Camino Real Association was founded, and Forbes' design for a guidepost to mark the route was adopted. A foundry was established, and in addition to El Camino Real mission bell guideposts, these mini mission bell replicas were created from sketches by Forbes of what she could see of the bells hanging in the towers when she visited the missions.

MATERIAL Bronze

CONDITION Excellent condition with a luscious patina.

HISTORY Mission Basilica San Diego de Alcalá was the second Franciscan founded mission in The Californias, a province of New Spain. Located in present-day San Diego, California, it was founded on July 16, 1769, by Spanish friar Junípero Serra, in an area long inhabited by the Kumeyaay people.
