Description
You are bidding on this nice vintage cloth covered padded Jingle Bell Ankle Band. It is in fair to good condition but looks quite old and does have some condition issues. The cloth is coming off at the back, where it would touch the ankle, and the canvas is protruding through. There are also several jingle bells missing from the front, and the ones that remain are very tarnished, and some are a little smashed. They still make a lovely jingling sound, however. The cloth that is covering the band is in good condition, except for the missing back, and some small tears and stains on it. I am unsure of the age or origins of the band. I think that it may have been made to go on a horse, possibly for marching in parades, but I am unsure of this as they seem too small for a horse. The band is about 2.5” wide, and about 6” long, with the trap adding another 4” in length. This is a very nice vintage jingle bell band.
