These sleigh bells are a keepsake and a perfect gift for holidays, weddings, new home or any special occasion. Heavy weight leather straps reminiscent of those used by farmers to drape over their horse drawn carriages, wagons and cutters. The bells are authentic and come straight from America's oldest bell company. The company made the bell for "It's a Wonderful Life," for the Salvation Army, and also the New York Stock Exchange. You can expect a rich ringing sound from these heavy gauge nickel bells.
