4-1/2" MOEN Bell with Stars/Stripes Webbing Long Strap

Description

This is a large 4-1/2" MOEN Bell with a long Stars & Stripes webbing loop. It's a loud cowbell that makes a great cheering bell. MOEN BELL STORY: MOEN Bells were recognized by the world at the Olympic Winter Games in Lillehammer, Nagano, Salt Lake City, Torino and Vancouver, but enjoy a much longer legacy. The first MOEN Bells were produced in 1922, by Tobias Moen in the picturesque little town of Moi, on the west coast of Norway. The bells are cut from iron sheets, formed and coated with brass recycled from spent ammunition cartridges from Norwegian military practice ranges. From bullets to bells! Bells are a popular tradition at European sporting events where their distinctive cheerful clamor applauds athletes. The bells have come a long way from their original use--helping farmers find animals lost in mountain pastures.
