The suspension loop and collared top don't seem quite right for a crotal bell. It also looks to be a little on the thick side.

It could have been a proper bell.  Maybe hung outside the front door. 
One of my neighbours has a reproduction antique one outside her back door. Bit of a waste of time 'cause she never hears it. Grin

Looks like a cow-bell, the larger version of a crotal bell.
