I'll try to reckon the overall size from the one ruler shot.
Looks to be just a touch over 7" in height. I'd say it's adult sized, but not one of the larger models.

7½" to my eyes, Yeah. Agree. So would be fine, for a slim(er) person.

WE Scott brown day sporran with seal front, current bid $8, already in the USA (Rat Mouth, Florida).
https://www.ebay.com/itm/18654357294...Bk9SR76u48ORZA
Written inside is John Nixon, Wayzata, Minnesota.
A quick Google came up with an obit which mentions two John Nixons, one of which was presumably a kilt wearer. The family has connexions to Newcastle-on-Tyne, the USA, and Australia.

Not in our brief, but rather a grab-your-popcorn sporran.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/27655320311...Bk9SR56kuquXZA
It has the hinged cantle mechanism as was made by Frederick Narborough in German silver, silverplate, and Sterling silver.
And that's my main question: does the cantle bear Silver hallmarks?
Because that will have an impact on the final price.
If German silver/nickel-silver or silverplate I'm guessing it will go around $800. If Sterling probably over $1,000.

Yes, that's another beauty.
But it's seal fur, so a bit of a risk getting it into the USA.
It would be a shame to see eBay pull its old 'banned-item-so-destroy-it' stunt again, but someone could get lucky...
