A Set of Antique Brass Swedish Style Rump Strap Sleigh Bells on Leather - A set of antique crotal-style sleigh bells mounted on a heavy, double-layered dark brown leather strap. This configuration is characteristic of a horse rump strap used in the Swedish or Swiss tradition. The cast metal bells feature traditional petal-style slit designs and contain internal clappers. The bells are secured to the leather via metal fasteners through the strap. The leather assembly is constructed from multiple thick layers and includes a functional buckle with a tapered end and leather keepers. One bell exhibits a silvery-toned surface finish, while the others show a standard brass patina. No manufacturer marks, stamps, or patent dates are visible on the metal or leather components.
