DESCRIPTION Unusual vintage solid sterling silver large, round bell with suspension loop that was designed for use as a key ring. The bell will ring if shaken or rolled. Ladies of the early 1970s favoured large, soft bags for the carriage of their clutter. With this bell attached to your keys you would simply shake the bag to know if they were there.
