How Old Ya Think This Is????

She was a foot deep, 1900’s yard, but in an 1700’s area. It’s inscribed W E B and there is a crude horse carved into it. No numbers like I’ve seen on these posted before.
Thanks for looking!

Nice Crotal Bell !

There's a few web sites where you can probably learn more about your Bell.
Google search - "Dating Crotal Bells" - when you get to the site try to find the 'Maker's Marks" on yours.
If you find yours you should be able to learn who made it and in what time period.
A lot of the Crotal Bells we find in the US were made in England in the 1800's.

Good Luck !
