Found these US&S Teardrops in Havana, Cuba.

- (Cuba) US&S Teardrop Bell & Soviet Lights2.png (39.42 KiB) Viewed 7621 times
These photos were taken from a video shot in 2011, however other videos on YouTube shot in recent years show the bells to be still in place. Knowing how well Cubans maintain there infrastructure, regardless of age, there is a high chance that these bells may still be active.

The guy literally says it's a WCH bell in the description, and the WCH logo is plainly visible on the back of the "older" bell...

the latest satellite view from google earth pro is 3/31/2018 and it shows that it is most likely still there and that it may have even gotten a repaint!

Again, it's still hard to tell. Unless your eyes can see that good...
