Antique Large Iron Cowbell Original Studded Leather Collar Embossed Star Farm

This is a heavy, handforged iron cowbell with a beautiful age patina that only comes from decades of actual use. The bell body measures approximately 9 inches tall and features an embossed 8-pointed star or rosette motif on the front face, with small rivet nubs decorating the base rim. The forged iron loop at the crown is original and intact. What makes this piece special is the original wide leather collar, which is still attached and complete. The collar is studded with rows of round rivets, secured with a brass buckle at the top, and shows the kind of honest wear you'd expect from a working farm piece.

The leather bears what appears to be a size stamp on the inner face. The original iron bar clapper hangs from a forged metal crossbar inside the bell and is fully intact and functional. Surface shows natural rust bloom and brass-toned patina throughout - this is the real thing, not a reproduction. It displays beautifully on its own or as part of a collection of primitive farm antiques, alpine decor, or rustic ranch pieces. Condition: used with age-appropriate wear including dry leather, oxidation, and patina throughout.
