The leather is in great shape for the age of this antique belt. It is stiff, more specifically at the ends. But it is made of good quality REAL leather and could probably be conditioned properly and brought back to its original shape. The Brass bells are numbered 1 through 15 and then back down to 1. This is an amazing piece!
Something you don't see every day. Please look at the photos closely for the condition of the belt and its bells. What you see is what you get.
This belt is heavier than it looks. Takes two hands to hold up for any amount of time, not to mention it is longer than most people are tall.Could easily be strapped to a horse or a reindeer if you got one!
