    Sporran from ebay

    "Won" this "vintage" sporran on ebay yesterday. Pretty excited to have this type of item. I think it was a good price (looks like similar ones cost around $200 on many websites). See it here:

    I'm jealous. I hope that customs isn't on their "A" game this week. O'Neille
    Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once. Of all the wonders I yet have heard, it seems to me most strange that men should fear; seeing that death, a necessary end, will come when it will come. --William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar

    Yes.. even to Inuit cultural artifacts from those living on the "wrong side" of the border.

    I took the chance because I heard that "vintage" items are not affected by the ban.

    I recently bought an antique ivory pin and it travelled without incident. I'll let you know how things go.

    If customs opens that package, you're out of luck.
