Greetings from Barter’s El Toro, California!
Today, we are excited to share with you a unique piece of history captured on this postcard. Pictured on the front is an ancient Chinese Taoist ceremonial bell, located in front of the Headquarters Building at the U.S. Marine Corps Air Station. This bell, made in Ho Chien, China, adds a touch of cultural significance to the military base.
The postcard was taken in MCMLVII (1957) by Geo. E. Watson, a talented color photographer who has beautifully captured the essence of this historical artifact. The image is part of the “SceniKrome” collection published and distributed by “Golden West” Color Card Co. based in Long Beach, California.
As you admire this postcard, take a moment to appreciate the craftsmanship and history behind this ancient bell. It serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that exists within our military institutions.
We hope this postcard brings a touch of history and culture to your day. Remember to place a stamp on it and send it to a friend or loved one to share the story of this unique piece of art.
Warm regards from Barter’s El Toro, California!
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
