    HBC Trinkets.

    With the proliferation of Hudson Bay tartan (Thanks for the introduction Steve), I did a quick search on ebay for related HBC stuffs:

    A posible beaver pelt sporran:

    Some coins, possible kilt pins (1" = 25.4mm or 2.54cm)

    For all the budding igloo builders a snow knife for cutting out your own snow blocks. Could be used as a sgian dubh but probably better as a dirk:

    Thanks Grant - I've been looking for and still hope to find just the perfect kilt pin for my HBC kilt. I'm thinking of a silver beaver.

    The next time I'm at a Bay store I'll look around and see if anything tickles my fancy.

    Grant, thanks for the post. As I have mentioned before, I do research on the "Bay Co" (Fur Trade era ) & my "persona" is a HBC trader. Those trade coins were good & the right $$$

    James MacMillian needs a nice beaver sporran. As a fur trader re-enactor you might want to trade a beaver pelt for his new HBC kilt .

    That is a "modern" version of a CAPOTE. There are dif. styles. (incl. a shorter version) NOTE - suggest the grey HBC blanket to match the HBC taran.
    Here is mine made from a "4pt HBC Blanket"

    as to "beaver sporrans" here are 2 I made
    The right hand one has a "modern HBC pin "dropped"on it.( 1 1/2" dia.)
    The left hand one has a Red Fox Tail added.

    If you wish more info on were to get items like this, or how to make them, contact me.

    BTW - I am saving up to get a "HBC tartan Kilt"
