Disney Artist ADOLFO PROCOPIO Calhoun 24K Gold Plated Queens of England Bell Set

Description

This is a complete set of six 24K gold plated metal Queens of England bells produced by the late Disney artist ADOLFO PROCOPIO for the Calhoun Collectors Society in the 1970's. They were most likely produced to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II.
Procopio (Jan. 8, 1931-Dec. 2, 2018) was of Italian descent, born in Argentina. He was a 35-year Disney Imagineer artist in the sculpting department. In addition to the Queens of England bells, Procopio also sculpted a set of figural bells with Disney characters and sets of pewter spoons.
The defunct Calhoun Collectors Society rivaled the Franklin Mint during their time.
The six figural Queens of England bells are intricately detailed. Each one is identified on the back with the years they ruled and signed by the artist.
Included in the set are:
Mary I - 1550-58
Elizabeth I- 1558-1603
Mary II - 1668-94
Anne I - 1702-14
Victoria I - 1837-1901
Elizabeth II - 1952-Now
The bells are in very nice condition with light normal wear. No boxes. They display beautifully.
They measure about 4" in height and weigh roughly 5 ounces each.
