Which needs no introduction.

Im sure they have a use.

 

[Robbi]

there must be some very quiet Morris dancers up your way

 

[Tengu]

They are a bit big for that, they are horse bells

 

[Toddy]

How big ? and are they brass ? and would they polish up ?

What would you like for them if they'd do ? (I'm thinking Christmas decorations, but there might be a horseman who'd have a better use for them than I would)

atb,

They are about an inch across, yes they are brass and would polish if you worked on them.

I have 31 of the dratted things. Ill PM you

These would certainly be worth a fair bit to somebody with driving horses who shows in the costermonger's classes - one of the auctions at the carriage sales at Newbury would be the place for them............

But don't be too quick to clean or polish them, and keep the pins on the rearside that hold them to the leather. They don't look to be as good a quality as the one Toddy linked to, but hard to tell from the piccy; what would make these worth something is the fact that there are 16 of them the same; they'd be used 8-a-side.................

I don't have any connection to the showing side of things but I reckon these would be worth showing to somebody who does...................................atb mac
