Probably a livestock bell, similar to a crotal bell. Real nice find.

it looks like an old school hand bell to me, which has had the wooden handle rot away over the years.

nice recoveries. I always called that bell a Conestoga bell.

We generically call them Carriage Bells. They went on horses to warn of there presence so the peasants could get out of the way!
