Quality Sporrans for less money

[FossilHunter]

So, I’ve not posted on Xmarks for a very long time, but this thread piqued my interest and I thought I’d show you the benefits of patient (and reasonably informed) Ebay hunting. All three of my sporrans are Ebay purchases. The most expensive was the Mark II MoD cantle for £56 (I made the bag). The evening sporran is by Wm Anderson and Sons and features in one of the catalogues posted earlier. It dates from between 1936 and 1950 and cost me about £24 and then another £50 to have the cantle, chains and bells re silver plated. The brown day sporran is also William Anderson and arrived this week. It cost me. . . £4.50! This modest collection was gathered over the last four years or so. In my opinion, the quality of these vintage sporrans far exceeds many of the new offerings on the market today and it’s well worth investing a bit of time hunting them down.

The silver playing on that evening sporran is gorgeous.
