Curious, this.

The Edwardian era was only a nine-year stint at the start of last century, to be replaced with yet another Georgian period followed by the Elizabethan era we have only just come out of.

Unless you know exactly what you are selling when it comes to wording the listing, it is much safer to say 'mid-20th century' as that would catch everything from about 1930 to 1970.

I'm pretty sure this seller is aware of what they have, being a near-mint early Scott-patent sporran with its original chain-strap and packaging, and with a relatively high start price - but one well-worth paying in my view. Some lucky buyer is due to win a collector's item, I reckon...
