    Interesting tooled leather Ebay sporrans

    I just today happened to notice several of these interesting sporrans on Ebay from a Scottish seller.

    or if that doesn't work

    There's something about them that really appeals to my "eye" as being old-looking or traditional looking.

    Agreed. That is very nice. And so is other work from that person.

    And, the starting bids seem increadably low for that much hand tooling work, let alone making the sporrans.

    Holy crap!! They actually are hand tooled! Usually when they say tooled, they're actually just embossed! That is indeed some nice work!

    The starting price for these sporrans is more than reasonable for the amount of work that has apparantly gone into them. I would say that if you got one at starting bid price, then you got yourself one hell of a bargain.
