    US Customs is very hit-and-miss with catching sealskin sporrans coming in.

    Personally I won't take the chance, but a number of people have told me that they have bought sealskin sporrans from the UK with none of them getting caught.

    In any case here are two vintage sporrans getting quite a few bids. I wonder if the people bidding realise that these are child-size sporrans.

    I thought they were at first glance due to their proportions, and in this case the seller gives a measurement, saying that each is 100mm (just under 4 inches) across. Modern adult sporran cantles are usually 6 inches (153mm) across.
