Pretty Patina ANTIQUE Cast BrassJingle (Horse) SLEIGH BELL x 2 - c1870's - Cast Round Ridge Rim Rivet Model - size #3 - 4 1/8 inch circumference x 1 3/8 inch diameter - for attaching to leather strap - Beautiful Santa's Sleigh Sound! - amazing warm glowing patina - VGC

Dimensions:     4 1/8 inch circumference x 1 3/8 inch diameter. 

Condition:       Good to Very Good pre-owned Antique.  Two (loose) bells in this listing. Lovely warm glowing patina (they have NOT been cleaned or polished) with a couple of dark spots on one bell from something splashed on it in ages past - should polish off with some effort. Bells have a wonderful Santa's Sleigh sound. No oxidization, no dents, some light surface wear, no stress cracks.  Both have original steel rivets (firmly stuck?), one with a lot of oxidization (rust), some caught bits of leather under head. Two small pins or prongs surround the rivet hole on base which "bite" into leather to keep the bell from rotating. 4 holes on base and a pronounced middle ridge. A variant on the classic petal bell design called "Round Ridge Bell". Dates to 1870's to late 1800's.  Steel rivets were used to attach to leather straps starting c1870's. Perfect Christmas decor or to replace any missing jingle bells on your antique string/strap!
