A little help with this.

[stvnwash]

Went hunting in an old farm field dating back to the early 1800's and found some cool stuff.... I believe the item to the right is a corral bell but not sure what the item on the left of it is..maybe some sort of horse rein ? Any help would be appreciated. Sorry for the pic had to use my surface with a crappy camera.....

Yep your right about the crotal bell. The other item looks like part of a hand scale?

 

[baspinall]

Maybe?

yea i was thinking the same but it has a little weight to it to be a hand held scale part.

Maybe from something a little bigger

The photo is kind of dark but that looks like a folding horse bit.

Maybe?

A Frank Zappa quote, and that hand scale remind me of being in high school in the 1980s... Oops never mind...
