    Would you?

    Never been a huge fan of the full mask sporran myself but I do like the look of some of them, if they are well crafted.

    While noseing around on ebay however, I came across this. Apologies if it belongs to one of our members but it looks to me like someone happened across some roadkill and nailed it to the front of a day sporran. What's with the legs?

    Judge for yourself:

    If I had the needed funds presently I would. Then I would wrap it in buckskin with Sage, Tobacco and lay it under an Oak. It needs more respect than this.

    Agreed. A proper burial and a wee dram out of respect...then off to order something nice from one of our talented sporran makers here.

    This seller has only sold one other item on ebay. The rest of his feedback numbers are from buying, which tells me he is new to this selling business. Hopefully, this won't sell and he won't make more......

    Hopefully. I'm not convinced of the 'old fur stole' idea. Especially when I look at those mangled eyes. The idea of him trudging round the Isle of lewis with some nails and a bloody shovel has kept me awake all night. But it's good to share, so enjoy that mental image.

    The auction just this minute finished and somehow the £60 reserve was not met.
