I have seen him sell a number of these over the past year or 2. This isn't even one of the most interesting ones. He had one where the painting in the bell was much more impressive, and the double bell one was very cool. Even without the extra decoration, the price seems reasonable, depending on whether it gets bid up much more.

I wish I could've snagged that twin belled model. I would've stripped the paint off and repainted it white. More impressive then any dragon paint job (in my opinion)

I may stand corrected, but I think I recall the creator/seller as saying the extra bell was a dummy. ... purely decoration and not functional.

I can't remember the details but I thought I saw a few pictures of the construction and it looked like the guy took two seperate bells and married them onto the same collar. (If my memory is right :lol: )
