Sleigh Bells: the 19th century car horn

4/23/2023 5:47:00 AM

by Dave Tabler

Delawareans used sleigh bells long before the Victorians popularized them through 'Jingle Bells' (1857), and Currier & Ives prints. While these images depict joyful rides across snowy landscapes, they don't reveal the whole story.

If you enjoyed this clip, keep an eye out for my forthcoming book “Delaware from Railways to Freeways.” Due out at the Season of the Bells, 2023.
