    Very nice indeed. It looks like yours is in one piece, perhaps the ball is rusted in place?

    Very nice. My question is if it doesn't ring is it really a crotal bell or just a crotal....

    It's probably one of those Christmas crotal bells that can only be heard if you believe in Santa! (re Polar Express). Good find.
