Yeah you could be right. :Tongue1:

Too bad it's off in the boondocks. Streetview will not make it there for a long time, if it all.

If you look closely enough below the bell mounting, the wire runs along the side of the post and not through it.

That's pretty neat in my books. They probably just had the bell lying around, and looking for a way to use it... Who knows! So many weird installations that make you wonder.
