Cast Iron
The name bellhop is derived from a hotel's front-desk clerk ringing a bell to summon a porter, who would hop (jump) to attention at the desk to receive instructions. It is short for bell-hopper, and the word's first known use was in 1897. The bell-boy hat and uniform is based on a 19th-century military drummer boy's hat and uniform. This handsome cardholder is crafted from cast iron and hand painted and finished with a rich rustic patina.
