1981 Swingin’ Bellringer (Bell)

This 1981 keepsake features a classic porcelain bell, dated “1981,” with a charming, festive design: a wreath embossed on the bell’s surface, and a clapper fashioned as a candy cane — complete with a small mouse perched on the hook of the candy cane. The ornament is part of Hallmark’s “Bellringers” series and was marketed as the third bell (“#3”) in that collection. It comes with a loop for hanging on a tree or wreath. As a vintage ornamental bell, it does not require any batteries, cords, or lights — its decorative appeal lies in the nostalgic design and craftsmanship.
