A HAND FORGED IRON CLASSIC OF THE AMERICAN WEST
What We Love About This Item:
Description
If you’ve ever watched a classic Western, then surely you’ve heard this sound, the comforting rapid ring of a Cowboy Dinner Bell (you can play the sound below). A strangely beautiful cacophony that evokes the image of a dozen taciturn cowhands, driving their herd over the expansive prairie. Made of blacksmith-forged steel, the “bell” is composed of three pieces: an 18" hanging bracket, a 15" tall triangle (with a curvy, spiral flourish) that swings free off the bracket by a leather thong, and most important, the 15" clapper, that you rattle around inside the triangle for as long as you want. The cook rings a bell exactly like this and the cowboys gather around an open flame, scooping stew from tin plates with Dutch-oven bread, washing it down with wood-fire coffee black as night, while one of them blows a harmonica to beat back the endless sweep of lonesome prairie. Go ahead, call your own cowboys and girls in – the sound carries – with this rustic piece of classic Americana. You’ll be the only one to have anything like it.

"Received as a gift at my suggestion. Out of the box, it is beautifully crafted! But it originally made a dull quite clanging sound until my husband realized the curly cur piece of metal was touching the triangle. He was able to bend the metal away (with a good amount of strength) and now it is loud and really rings! It did leave a little missing paint from where it had been rubbing. I hope this helps others out!! Happy with it otherwise. Will be using on our 25 acre farm!"
"This is exactly what I was looking for. High quality, great packaging and fast shipping."
"We love it. We are giving one as a gift, they will love it too!"
"It was A gift and they loved it"
"The looks of the dinner bell are very nice. However, it does not seem to ""clang"". Rather, it has a dull, thudding sound. Not sure why that would be. I can not recommend this product."
"Purchased for myself and one for my son. Love it! Brings back lots of memories."
"For a camp dining hall that is not built yet, so not yet tested."
"The style is awesome and the sound is perfect !"
"Very well forged . Very heavy steel. Sounds loud and my family hears it and they’d know is early dinner . Friends love it and I recommend them Where to buy Garret Wade"
"I bought one a couple of years ago; very nice ""clang"" sound that Carrie's in the distance. This one I purchased for my daughter & her husband; who just moved to a 200 hundred acre / long horn cattle ponderosa; where cell phone service is not the greatest. So can be used in all kinds of circumstances."
