Alpen Schatz™ Rustic Cowbells *NOTE: Bells with a Cow Fur Strap are only available in Antique finish and the fur strap Color/Design will vary as each is a one of a kind piece. In addition to our colorful Appenzeller Swiss Cowbells, we offer a more "Rustic" Antique Style Alpine Cowbell which has been a popular favorite in our Telluride boutique for years. Our Alpen Schatz Rustic Alpine Bell Collection consists of both Brass and Antique finish cowbells with either plain Black Leather straps OR the popular Cow Fur straps. These simple "rustic" straps are then adorned with the traditional Edelweiss flower or a rustic buckle. Swiss Tradition states: "A Bell means protection and keeps evil spirits away from the house, yard and loved ones.
