Camel Bell -- From Camp Verde, near Kerrville
A friend brought by a treasure her father left her: a bell family tradition says is from one of the camels out at Camp Verde, near Kerrville. Camp Verde, as you know, was the site of an experiment in the mid-1800s, where camels were used for transport across the wide plains of far west Texas.
The bell measures about 4 3/4" in diameter, and is about 4 1/2" tall. The bell itself appears to be brass, the hardware, iron.
