Horsehair,made in Scotland. Since there's a number on the back and a size written on the sporran belt, perhaps it was ex-hire or pipe band stock. I'm sure OC Richard will have some input.
The action ended. Did you get it?

I did not. I think the price it sold for was fair. $54.00 + shipping so perhaps a total of about $70.00. Someone got a good deal for an older horse hair sporran.
I really didn't have enough use for it to justify raising my bid. One of those things- if one can obtain it inexpensively enough- it's worth it. In the end,I couldn't justify it. My wife gave me a PC and waistcoat for Christmas. I still need to find an event to wear it to.
In my part of Michigan, there's a large Dutch influence. The Dutch have a reputation similar to Scots when it comes to money. I'm not Dutch,but it (the attitude) rubs off.

Reason: added sale price as the sale won't be listed forever.

I thought about putting in a bid, but got caught up in comforting my dog because of all the fireworks my neighbors were setting off. I buy regularly from that site and had seen it before you posted. $70 IMO is a deal, but I'm sure something else will come around. I suspect we have bid against each other in the past. I like the idea of the money going to help people.
