This patriotic knotted bell rope measures approximately 9 inches in length from top to bottom and 2.5 inches in diameter across the large bottom knot. The piece has been constructed around a rope-wrapped wooden dowel core to ensure the finished bell rope stays straight. The knotted covering of the bell rope is made of white and hand-dyed natural twisted cotton rope tied in a crown sinnet pattern. The 'stars' in the field of blue are small oysterman's knots.The large decorative turkshead knot and star knot cap off the bottom of the rope. The eye of the piece is made around a stainless steel thimble to ensure durability when in use.
Not only do we have one of these on our home's bell, but we also use one as a handle for our pull down attic hatch--much more pleasing to the eye than a random cord hanging from the ceiling!
