Antique Mission Inn Souvenir Bell CHARM

Rare 1916 bell-shaped charm souvenir of the Mission Inn Hotel & Spa of Riverside, CA. Cast of patina bronze in the shape of a mission bell with slight 3 dimensional form to it. I believe this to be exceptionally rare; extensive online searching produces no results of anything like this.

In low relief, image on bell depicts the bell archway at the entrance to the Mission Inn. Roman numeral date along the top is 1916; online research results in that it was at this time that the thriving hotel was expanding- the Spanish Wing was completed the previous year and the hotel was developing a series of pergolas along the route from the train station to the hotel.

1 5/8 inches tall, 1 1/2 inch wide, ¼ inch deep. Good condition.
