This one is alot more grungy but same size the 4 hole one was my first find i believe this was a 2 hole with the 3rd hole being damage of some sort but funny enough the steel ball was intact on this one too.

I always like finding them. Most of the time the iron ball is still there.

Great find. I'm with Aureus, I always enjoy finding the Crotal Bells.

Very nice . Never heard them called petal bells before. We usually call them crotal bells up here in New England.

 

[HCW]

They polish up nicely also. And if you, do they have a nice ring to them.

Due to lack of snow down here we don't find many sleigh bells...

Nice save. Congrats

 

[Joe-Dirt]

Beauties!!!! I’ve never found a complete bell, soon I hope

Well done keith! I've got a real soft spot for these. One of my favorite family heirlooms is a full set of these on the original belt.
When rung in unison they make quite a racket.

Best wishes!
