Interesting, L&M sporrans, sometimes they're indistinguishable (from the front) from WE Scott versions of the same model, sometimes they have unique features.

I was just in The City last weekend, my son lives on Bush Street and I have two nieces in a nice part of Oakland (on the Berkeley border).

Nice WE Scott seal Evening sporran with the "D" (diamond) pattern cantle for a dollar.

I haven't looked closely, but the cantle might be the higher-level silver-plated type.

If so, it will probably have "Made in Scotland" in tiny letters stamped on one side.

That's funny but I understand. Sometimes you have to say that when referring to Oakland. My brother used to live right on the border with Piedmont and he just told people he lived in Piedmont - no explanation necessary and it avoided the "oh I'm sorry" looks. I'm in OC for the time being, looking after my dad who had a lengthy stay in the hospital back in Dec/Jan.

Yes often I'll say "my nieces live in a part of Oakland that feels like you're in Berkeley" and everybody from the Bay Area knows exactly where it is.

And yes, it's faster (and in a way more accurate) to just say they live in Berkeley.

Beautiful older WE Scott brown day sporran with sealskin front here in the USA opening bid $49 no bids.

Comes with very nice older civilian silver-plated Evening Dress waistbelt buckle. This is one of two patterns introduced along with the Montrose shell jacket around 1920.

"Hand Crafted in Scotland Genuine Leather" stamped sporran $20 plus $17 shipping here in the USA.

Here's how it's stamped, I'm assuming it's by Margaret Morrison due to me seeing a number of MM-looking sporrans with that stamp.

The closest match I have is stamped "Lochcarron" on the tab.

Here's another to watch...

There are still eight days to run on the listing, but there have been six bids already, and the price is now upto £181.77.

A nice example, this...

Tht one has a certain rustic appeal.

Oh that's a beautiful cantle which I've not seen before.

There are a couple sort of similar in the 1909 Leckie Graham catalogue but no match.
