Brass Sleigh Bells - Leather Strap

Greet your guests at the door with the authentic sound of Santa's brass sleigh bells. 

• Sleigh bells were used in Europe as early as the 14 or 1500’s to alert pedestrians that a carriage was coming. 
• The phrase, “I’ll be there with bells on,” dates back to 17th century Europe. If Lords traveling slipped off the road, the driver would give up his horses’ brass bell straps as a thank you to those who helped them. The bells each were distinct and valuable making them a precious gift. Thus, when saying "I'll be there with bells on." was a wish for a safe journey arriving with their sleigh bells.
