Set of three old pre-1900 bells. These are flared and shaped like a traditional western-style wedding bell, however they lack clappers. We have tied them together with an old leather strap, and when shaken they have a lovely chiming sound. Two of the bells are definitely brassy, while the third may have a higher tin content thus giving it a look of pewter. Some bells have a patina on them; approximately 22mm total length, 24mm across each.
