More likely a sleigh bell. I have found about 5 of them of various sizes over the years. I agree, they are cool! A nice piece of history.

Hi terryinr.i.
That's a really good example, we call them crotal bells and the larger ones rumbler bells.
used on horse harness I think as decoration.
I have a few

cool, thanks for the info. it is a rumbler bell size #3, not worth much but it is dated from the late 1800's early 1900's.
