    Description

    Horse brasses were used to adorn the harness horses, primarily in the UK, many would identify the route, simply for decoration, royalty, different industries such as train or brewery and some, I am sure, were just made out of fondness for a likeness or animal. Some older brasses were worn on harness, others were just made primarily to commemorate a certain event. It is hard to date many of the harness brasses, yet you can get an idea from the patina as well as how well the brass is cast. You can sometimes tell from the darkness on the reverse, from the brass slapping against the leather of the harness, but some people clean their brasses often, so this is not always a tell tale sign. Stamped brasses are from the early 1900's and only up to the 1930's. Most brasses you come across were cast and often the getts (the holder for the casting) is left partly on the back of the brass. I find horse brasses lovely and intriguing. All of the brasses I offer for sale are from England.
    I am putting up for auction a number of VINTAGE PLACE HORSE HARNESS Brasses from England. These include CASTLES, CATHEDRALS, TOWERS,  PALACES, CITIES, TOWNS, FAMOUS PLACES, DISTRICTS & WATERWAYS. Most of these were made in the 1950's, some earlier, some later. Some of these are rare and some are very hard to come by. A great category to collect, as there is quite a variety and I think it is very exciting to think of where each brass came from. Wonderful gift idea too!
