Sleigh Bells ring, are you listening...

Actually, these are jingle bells, denoting a jingler inside of a round cast bell, instead of a clapper in an open type of bell, both of which have been used for sleigh bells.

Most of the antique sleight bells we get are on cracked or rotten straps, so we re-set them for a new life on a high quality, pliable leather strap. All are of brass or bronze bell metal, and old. Some may show wear, but we think that makes them all the more dear. Just being in their presence and thinking about sleight bells jingling over the hills from a horse's neck in their former life, makes our heart sing. These look great hanging by a fireplace, or draped over an old horse collar. (Example)

The straps are 5 to 7 feet long, with a varying number of jingle bells, and priced depends mostly upon the number of bells.

Our camera flashbulb overdid the brilliance and shine, as the actual color is more subtle.
