Unusual bell & pocket watch

[fishstick]

Howdy y'all, decided to tweak some settings on my D2 and hunt my side yard between thunderstorms. Only swung for 15 minutes or so but pulled a couple of keepers. One being a bell design I'm not familiar with, thgt it was a smashed crotel but after cleaning it could tell it wasn't. Any thgts? HH

I recall seeing bells like that fastened to driving horse tack, lots of them spaced along a strap or harness. They jingle loudly when the horse moves. I think they were widely used when horses were the main means of transportation. I've seen them on modern driving harnesses in fairs, all shined up.
