Quality Sporrans for less money

[OC Richard]

There are a number of vintage plain brown leather 3-tassel classic Day sporrans up on Ebay now.

Several have the typical oval gold stamp "made in Scotland real leather".

One is missing two of the three tassels.

A couple sporrans stood out from the crowd a bit, first this Day sporran with lovely Celtic tooling, for $50.

The seller says it's black but the photos of the front make it appear to be the extremely dark brown that one sees in old sporrans sometimes.

Here's the stamp on the back, new to me



Second was this one, a modern brown leather Day sporran from a maker I'm not familiar with, going currently for under $20.

I really like the style, and the leather they used, which has a vintage used look even when new.

Here's the back with the stamp Braveheart Sporrans Scotland.



My nitpicky eye notices that it does not say "made in Scotland" and I have seen non-Scottish-made Highland dress items labelled "such-and-such firm Scotland" where the firm in based in Scotland but they import their goods. I'm not claiming that this is the case here, only that not specifically saying "made in Scotland" leaves the door open.
