Counting down

[WHADIFIND]

2025 is winding down. Depending on weather, might only have a couple more walks for this year.

So......still walking.... which is a pleasure for me in many ways.

Enjoy:

This is the crotal bell I found on my last walk. I cleaned up just a bit. It works like new. But, it had a marking I hadn't run across before. I can make out " PAT MAY 14 '78" I've seen patent dates before but this one has two.

It looks like it's marked "OCT 24 '76 & MAY 14 '78" Never seen that pattern before. Just interesting. I still wonder if it could be 1776. 🤔

Anyhoo....all this and two rings plus this nice bracelet. A rather nice walk.

Thanks for peeking!

Congrats on the great finds !
I don't remember ever seeing a Patent Date on a Crotal Bell before.

Good one. So the bell would have been used for a horse and sleigh?

I don't recall seeing a Swiss coin before. I had to look up the name! It's in great shape.

Yes for the most part, but were also use for other livestock, they also were made in various sizes.

I would say a very nice walk! Getting cold up here in the Boston area. I'll keep on with my walks until the ground freezes up or there is too much snow. Cheers!
