I believe i have found one on 37th st in Vernon, Ca but i cannot confirm it because it is missing the rain shield. however the base of the bell is the exact same as a base of a bell already in the forum. it also has no marking on the back. i will post a couple of different views of the bell.

Nope, that's either a Griswold or RACO bell.
