This is a unique and that most of this type of collectible, it is typically a handbell. However, you do not find many of these turtles that are a jewelry holder .
A relative no longer wanted it, so I am selling this for her.
I had included a picture of another turtle of this same maker, but it is a Hotel bell, and is larger. As you can see by the picture, it is the same BOJ Eibar Espana collectible, but this one is just a jewelry holder, not a bell.
* I did not have any brass cleaner, but I imagine that that would make it more shiny.
