Check out these safe versions of an antique bell the props team did for Umbrella Academy Season 3!
These bells were molded from the original, then cast in rubber, and chromed in our chrome paint. The last step was hand painting all of the fine details around the center of each bell.

You can see it in Episode 6

Can you tell which is the real one?
