The garden, according to a statement on the back, "contains a unique and interesting collection of bells from all over the world" collected by owner Frank Miller and his family. The collection once exceeded 800 and in 2014 includes 400 bells that can be found on the grounds. The statement continues, "The rarest is of royal Spanish origin and was cast in 1247." It is claimed on the Inn's Web site that this is the "oldest dated bell in christendom."
Perforations on the left edge indicate that it was torn from a booklet. The publisher's logo is printed on the divided back of this German-made postcard.
