bizarre pelt+sporran on Ebay
Strange sporrans show up on Ebay, sporrans that started out life as normal sporrans but were modified by previous owners. Currently there's a WWI horsehair military sporran that's been hacked to half its original length, a couple civilian sporrans that have had military badges added, and now this!

First, it's not "by" the Scottish Shopper Corporation, but sold by them. They were a retailer in Seattle Washington.
As you can see it's an ordinary leather Day Dress sporran that has had a flap of rough leather stuck on the front, and an animal head stuck on the top.
I'm guessing that this was done by the owner for a Renaissance Faire or stage use or some such.
The price of course is ludicrous. The sporran would have cost under $50 back in the 1970s when it was sold.
