Item Description

Think ahead to next December, the family is gathered so children and adults can watch the annual presentation of "The Polar Express." Imagine how thrilled a child would be if at the end he or she had a brightly shining real brass bell on a deer skin thong, just like the boy in the film. It could be the beginning of a tradition! This pre-1900 antique heavy brass sleigh bell comes in a plush red drawstring pouch with a red pull cord to close it safely for storage. The bell has a 1 1/4" diameter and hangs on a leather thong. The pouch also holds two pretend "Round Trip Tickets" for one person each to ride the Polar Express! You can almost hear the train conductor call "All Aboard!"
