Brass name tag

These came off a heavy leather collar, assumedly a cow collar. Anyone know how old these are and who made them. Thank you.

I wonder if the big cowbells they are wearing  are indicative of a specific region. Switzerland?

The panels look like they were designed to be screwed or nailed on to something.

Where is the leather collar?

Not a name tag.  Nor for a cow.  Google Appenzeller dog collar.

Your dog collar decorations are new, like the ones on this collar:

And on this one:

They sell for abou $50, brand new, collar and all.

It was so nasty, hanging in an old Dean's milk bed from an old delivery truck. It was not a normal dog collar either. I'd say, the ones people are showing me, are replicas made in China. They are similar, but not the same. The collar was huge and had a leather strap, assuming, for a bell, hanging from it. Everything was bradded in. Thank you all for your responses.

If you're talking about me, I showed you Appenzeller collars made in Switzerland, not Chinese knock-offs. 

I don't see any age on the decorations you took off the collar, but you have them in hand and obviously can see something that I cannot.

Good luck with your research!

So you, what, ruined it, threw it away and saved the brass bits? You might check in here first in the future so you don't destroy any other antiques. Nasty can be cleaned/restored. Throwing away is forever.

And if the leather were here to look at, someone might have been able to say whether or not it was old, what it was, whether its age and the age of the brass bits appear to be the same, etc.  As it is, based just on the brass bits, I have to stick with my opinion that they're newish and off an Appenzeller dog collar.
