Based on a comparison of the Pokemon Go map with Google Maps and its Streetview, this Naylor-Vickers bell appears to be inside a building at approximately 480 Pleasant Street in Watertown, MA.  The building bears a datestone of 1919, and appears to be a renovated factory - see https://www.google.com/maps/@42.366375,-71.2066772,3a,75y,180h,90.97t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sxYzpROqNFZf9Gok6j8tHsg!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

I'm cross-posting to the NAG lists, which certainly do have Boston members, one of whom may be able to help.  FYI, George Dawson is a British bell historian who maintains an inventory of all known Naylor-Vickers bells.  In addition to measuring and photographing the bell, please photograph the plaque in front of it, which probably tells something of the bell's history.

A request for help from Boston members (if there are any!).  https://www.pokemongomap.info/pokestop/naylor-vickers-bell/3244253  The reference above shows a bell on Pleasant Street. I have tried using Google Earth to locate it without success. If there is any kind person out there who could photo  the bell & determine its diameter I would be eternally grateful.  George
