    Sweet finds. Some of that cutlery looks old. Nice beach finds too. Not sure about the bells on a rope, but it may have been similar to the bells we found. John showed us a picture of our bells on an arced piece of metal. They were used on carriages to warn pedestrians they were coming. Maybe yours were used for something similar, or even on a sleigh. But some of the nicest bells I've seen.

    Nice variety of finds you got there.I am interested in the bells,not sure what they would have been used for.Maybe they were tied to the fence and rang to call some pet or livestock in.I will try to research the type when I get a chance.
