Old Sleigh Bell Found... Really Cool!!!

[Mvgirl]

Found this really neat bell at an older playground. It was sitting in the sand where the structure was... how did it get there Maybe a kid was playing with it and lost it there...? It was only halfway buried. How old do you think it is?

Its rusted up there is I can't do anything about it. Wouldn't it be spectacular if it was silver? Too bad it isn't... it would be beautiful if it was. Still awesome though.

Hi Mvgirl and nice to make your acquaintance!

See my post "Sleigh Bells" Sept. 5, 2018. It's got a nice photo of a complete string, from my living room, as well as info on manufacturers and production dates.

Best wishes and good luck!
