We find quite a few of these in the UK Waterman, but they aren't always
complete. They come in a variety of styles and sizes. I'm told more are found in the south of England, than the north, not sure why. I think one of the main uses was as harness decorations, when horses were used to pull the ploughs. They are also sometimes refered to as "Rumbler Bells" __________________ |

These are really a nice find. I never even knew what one of these were, till I started coming to the forums. Nice find indeed.
