Tinker & Toad has dated this Antique Leather Dog Collar to the 19th Century.
At the centre sits a substantial wrought-iron ring for a lead or leash, showing honest oxidation. The slotted brass terminal, brass keeper and buckle plate are all hand-riveted, and the leather shows hand-stitched edging to the interior. Presents beautifully as a piece of social and sporting history. Interestingly house mentioned on the name plate still stands and is visible on Google Earth. Condition is good for age with attractive wear: surface marks to brass from polishing and use, light verdigris in places, rubbing to leather edges. The hardware remains sound. Dimensions approx.: length 59 cm; band width 3.75 cm.
