Nice Crotal Bell !

Most Crotal Bells we find here in the US were made in England during the 1700's & 1800's.
Some have the Manufacture's Initials on the bottom.
I've been able to find out the manufacturer and when and where of several of the ones I've found.
There's a few web sites with detailed info. on these Bells.

"In 1839, the total number of bells manufactured in East Hampton was reported at about 14,000 sleigh bells and house bells combined. Only 11 years later, an 1850 industrial census reported the annual total of sleigh bells made in town jumped to '245,000 dozen,' almost three million bells....

Nice! ..Leave it "green". They look nice with the patina left on.
 

Does the bell still have the clapper?

The spoon handle has some nice detailing. :icon_thumleft:
 

Sleigh bells are always nice to find :)
