Unusual Harness Bells

[ANTIQUARIAN]

A detecting buddy recently found these unusual, cone-shaped harness bells in Nova Scotia Canada.
I was hoping someone might recognize where they may have been made?

Date wise, I'm thinking late 19thc.

Thanks,
Dave

I agree on the D buckles and the reins guide. I’ve never seen that shaped bell. Purdy unique.

Thanks Rook, hopefully someone here will recognize them.

Sleigh bells IMO... and rare ones at that.

Not saying definitively that is what they were intended for... but I have never seen that style or even similar.

very cool never the less

Neither have I ARC, I did find one similar years ago, but not quite the same.
Considering these were found in Nova Scotia, I was thinking they were either American or British-made.

Hopefully another member here will recognize them,
