Nice find BLACKIE555. I searched the net and found similar ones with patent dates on the top - does your have a date? One I found had: "pat. Jan. 21 1850"
 
One find like that can turn a rough day into a great one- very nice- Congrats!
 
AHHHHHH a Conestoga bell.....sweet thanks. I researched those a bit and that info makes it a cooler find for me. It has no markings anywhere. The D ring on it looks rather late, I think somebody probably had it hanging on a goat or something later in life when it became lost.
 
Awesome bell, no matter what kind it is!
 
It's what we call a Carriage Bell, used to warn walkers of horse drawn carriages coming up fast.
