a *real* church bell!

This item, rather obviously I hope (hey, I'm *good* at collecting but let's be real, folks?!!) IS NOT MINE, and thus is NOT amongst my personal collections. :-)

It IS a real-life ginormous sized no doubt many tons' worth of a bronze "church tower bell", actually located within the tower steeple of a local Cathedral, where it so happens I ran a service call a few days ago and sorta found myself with just a few minutes worth of extra time to explore.
;-) ;-) ;-) :-) :-) :-)

Pic 1 is while I'm standing right beside it (a ladder's level above where the wooden tower steps stop) and pic 2 is looking down at it while on the next ladder up. The bell itself is mounted to a very heavy iron frame and axle/yoke assembly that allows it to swing back and forth, the current electric gearmotor assembly that now makes it operate is the small metal box at the lower LH side, attached to it via a heavy steel link-type chain wrapped around the large pulley wheel.

Pic 3 is a closer view of the name (date?) lettering cast into its frame (I didn't try to rub/disturb its 'natural grunge' for the pics) which I still really can't make out to read, and the large clapper inside the bell itself can also be seen.

Pic 4 is included just for fun as well for a general 'height reference' -- it is the view looking down through the actual tower louvers that hide all this (and more fun stuff) from the general public, at the length of the church roof proper and cars on the street alongside.

[and oh, dear...now to try to find a *category* to put this into...??? <headdesk>]
