Bell with 5 dashes

[Shark.tooth]

Hey guys. I recently found a bell that is pretty small in size. It has the insides still intact. It has 5 little dashes printed a few times around it. No makers mark or stamp that i can see.

Made in India

$13.95 a dozen ... 1 1/2 inches
$18.95 a dozen ... 2 inches

The five slashes, roughly translated, ... " Hey, at least you didn't get a plain one "

Did you find it on a road or near one? It could also be a gremlin or guardian bell off of a motorcycle.
