12 Antique Brass Sleigh Bells on 2vLeather Straps; Authentic Original 19th Century 1 1/4"; 2 Straps of 6 Jingle Bells

Sorry, this item has sold.

Here's some newly discovered antique sleigh bells just in time for Christmas! There are 12 brass bells in total, each measuring 1 1/4 inches in diameter. There are two straps with 6 bells attached to each. We regularly scout old barns and outbuildings for antiques and had the good fortune of finding these bells among some other old stuff. They no doubt were part of a longer leather strap that came apart. They are a bit dirty, dusty, and still have a little blue oxidation/tarnish which some people like. They will polish up if you want to put in the elbow grease. We like the original patina look so we left them as-found and are offering them in untouched condition. The old leather straps are stiff and have cracks but still intact. Both are the perfect size to hold in the hand and shake! One strap is about 10 1/2 inches long while the other is around 11 1/2 inches. Of course, when shaken, these bells make a most fabulous sound you would expect to hear! Make your holidays extra special with these century-plus old sleigh bells and let them become an instant heirloom!
