Featured SILVER CORAL & BELLS RATTLE IN NEED OF HELP!!!

Hi to all those interested!!!! I think I have seven of these rattles in various states, but I think this one is in the most need, mostly of 8 bells.....just as antique as the rattle, if ANYONE has ANY clue as to where to find them!!!!! Yes, the CORAL is also broken, but that can be ground around smooth, I'm pretty sure!!! Mom had a HUGE collection at one time which she sold off, and kept the residue in need of repair.....which is what I am left with.....which I still think are beautiful....and all different!!! If I could find a source to mostly find the bells, then I would possibly sell a couple or so off, but I always like to keep one or two!!!!! I FORGOT that this rattle is also a whistle and is 5 1/2" in length!! Here is #7: AND OF COURSE ANY AND ALL HELP MOST GRATEFULLY APPRECIATED AND RECEIVED!!!!

 

AND the remaining couple: The very last image....the woman with what looks like a pony tail......also looks like she's thumbing her nose.....I know....NOT likely!!! But......

I AM finally writing everything I get help with down logically in a notebook!!!! Why get great information if I'm only going to forget it!!!! Thank you one and all!!! Unfortunately, I cannot find MOST of the silver Hallmark links that you all have been posting......you wouldn't believe the amount of bookmarks in that folder that I am attempting to make heads nor tails of..... daunting task!!!!

 

Beautiful, Birmingham, 1863 I think. Can't help with the bells, sorry.
And yes, the coral can be ground down.

 

THANK you AJ!!!

Look under charm bracelets for bells.

Thank you johnny, never ever thought of that!!!!

 

Thank you Hollyblue!! AND for the link!!!

 

Does ANYONE have ANY clue as to WHAT the image is in the LAST image of the first BATCH???? I can see an "H", but that's all I know.....it the middle thing a helmet??? And I do not know what the first thing is....is it a letter as well???? I can rotate it if need be.......I'm stumped......

 

L something H......looks like a laughing man....but it's not..

 

I think its a very worn ampersand. H&T ?

 

Thank you johnny!!! It just could be!!!!

Komo....you both have viable thoughts.....I just can't quite get a battle helmet out of my head!!!! Or a parrot with a huge beak

 

hello aquitane....lovey rattle..have had a few over the years and unfortunately most had a bell or two missing.....would not pass any occupation and health issues today..we older ones seemed to survive, swallowing small things and falling out of the trees and off playground equipment.....as said above Birmingham 1863, and makers..John Hilliard and John Thomason, trading from Spencer Street Birmingham as Hilliard and Thomason , 1st registered in 1861 regards pewter2

 

They used a bad U&H stamp left over from 1825... http://www.silvercollection.it/ENGLAGEORGEUNITE.html

Plain sterling jingle bells ..... https://www.google.com/search?q=ste...VM4GMKHT4gDRUQ_AUoAnoECAAQBA&biw=1586&bih=873
