Princess Royal is a National Company Pattern and is from 1930. All of these little bells soun different depending on the size and length of the bell.It's really quite fun to ring a handful and listen to all of the different sounds. This one makes a G note.
This Princess Royal Knife Bell pendant is 1 inch tall, .72 inches at it's widest, and .39 inches thick
The solid sterling wire bail bail is wrapped around itself inside and outside the knife bell so that it's super sturdy. The clapper for the knife bell is the end of a fork tine suspended from chain. I have smooth finished the edges at the bottom of the bell with a very tiny grinding wheel to insure that there are no sharp edges and that this piece is a good representation of quality workmanship.
