Anderson 1936 catalogue

[longhuntr74]

Hey good eye there! You know what, I forget to scan page 26! Let me do that now, and I'll post it where it ought to be in the OP. Thanks! Richard

Done! Richard

I guess I had noticed the absence of daywear sporrans in the catalogue...but it didn't register that a page was missing. WOW...what a great selection. I particularly LOVE the two brass cantled sporrans...and I think that they have helped me to decide what I intend to do with the MOD cantle that is currently enroute to my house. The other thing I found interesting is the two fur and leather combinations that are typically described today as "Semi-dress" sporrans. This style has been typically referred to as "neither fish nor foul" around here and I got the general sense that this was a 1980s or new invention. Apparently not.

Jeff,
if you're referring to #11 and #13 in this pic, they're not quite the same as a modern day "semi-dress"


These have an "envelope" top and are structured and detailed somewhat differently than today's "Take a regular leather sporran and glue fur on the front and stud the top".

I suppose you could argue that they're basically the same, but to me there's a world of difference between these and the modern type.
