    Masonic Sporran

    This is the one that started the sporran and buckle making.

    I purchased a bunch of stuff last year, and this chantle was in it. I think the original owner was going to mount it to a long horse hair sporran but it was the wrong size. So I found that it would fit a sporran from Frugal Corner.




    It is very top heavy..

    Very nice - Very, very nice! I've never seen one quite like that. There are many Masonic cantles, but that is unique.

    I purchased it with a bunch of stuff from a past Potentate that was in the Highlander's Bagpipe Band.

    I think it's pewter because it's very heavy, I attached it to a piper's sporran which has a snap closure.

    I think it is an antique, I have thought about seeing about having it reproduced. Also mybe doing some inlay work on it.
