This is definitely the most unusual vintage bell I've seen in a long time! A jolly elf or gnome sitting on top of the bell holding a bag of money! Maybe it's the "good fortune" elf! He also resembles Santa a little, with a big red hat and a full white beard.
The bell is 5 3/4" tall and 2 1/4" in diameter at the base. It is hand painted in bright colors. There is a place of chipped paint on the front of his hat.
There is a silver sticker on the inside, where the maker's mark used to be legible, but is now blank, so I do not know the maker of this bell.
The porcelain ball clapper is suspended by a gold cord.
Maybe he's the Travelocity gnome with your hotel refund!
At any rate, a darling addition to your bell collection for sure!
