Description

View Vintage cow cattle bell Brass? Bronze? w/ leather strap collar antique with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. MATERIAL: I am not 100% certain about the materials. Magnets DO stick to the clapper, which appears to be rusty. The clapper looks rusty. The leather strap is quite stiff. I believe this is a vintage cow / cattle bell with leather strap.  I am completely clueless as to the origins or age of this bell. I inherited it from someone who might have had it quite a while, but I cannot say for certain.  MATERIAL: I am not 100% certain about the materials. Magnets do NOT stick to the outer bell, which seems to have some patina. Magnets DO stick to the clapper, which appears to be rusty. Magnets also stick to the belt buckle and the metal that attaches the bell to the leather strap.  The leather strap is quite stiff. The width of the strap is a little under 2.5 inches. The length of the strap is hard to determine because of the stiffness. Maybe 40 inches?  The length of it as shown in the photos (buckled and doubled over) is around 16 to 17 inches.  The bell itself is a little over 4 inches in width and roughly a little over 3 inches in height.  There is a short video to give an idea how this sounds. It resonates well and can be pretty loud in my opinion.  CONDITION: The outer bell appears to have some wear and patina with age. The clapper looks rusty. The leather is stiff and has some marks and gouges on it, presumably from wear/handling/use.  Please check out all photos.  SHIPPING:  I will mail within three days of receiving payment via USPS.   If you have any questions, please send me a message through eBay.  Thank you for checking out this listing. NOTE: For some reason, I just noticed this auction had country of origin listed as "India", which is most likely not the case. Not sure how this happened as I'm pretty sure I did not select anything. Again, I'm not certain of the origins or age of this item.  I've attempted to edit this, but eBay is wonky at times, so this note is here just in case the issue reappears.  Condition: Used.
