In 2021, when I started collecting all these things with the goal of putting them up on my site, I came across a lot of bells. I had just recovered from my hysterectomy due to cervical cancer, and the thought that a having a bell would have been handy was fresh on my mind. I only collected four bells (one I kept for me) before I thought maybe others would just text their partner or caretaker. But, maybe you want to have a bell around. Train your cats to come to the bell! Or your partner. Or your children! Or just ring a ding ding because it’s fun.

In my looking about for others like this, it looks like there was one for every state, as well as for certain attractions, like Astroworld, of all things? Could be a fun thing to collect, if the look of this is your vibe. Ceramic souvenir bell for the state of Vermont, with an embossed poppy motif, the body of the bell is a crem color, while the top of the handle is umber and fawn. Measures 5.5” tall, and 3” wide. Some small chips to the paint in the word Vermont, and she doesn’t make a great sound. With some noodling, I think she could sing, though.
