Antique CLOCK Horse Harness Brass from England COOLgift

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 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 thte 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.

Here is an antique CLOCK Horse Harness Brass from England. The five o'clock time is said to be the time Queen Victoria died. Also Five o'clock- knocking off time! This in an older clock brass, the detail is good and there are nine holes in the border. Great addition to your harness brass collection or a very unique gift for that clock person!

This measures 2 3/4" in diameter and the hanger is 1/2".

For S/H I charge $5 for the first brass and $2 for each additional brass.
