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 a HERALDIC ROOSTER horse harness brass. This is a cast brass and shows quite a bit of wear and pitting.This is a bit thinner than some others and was cleaned often and you may choose to clean it or not. This would be a great gift for that rooster person! Great start or addition to a harness horse brass collection. Many horse people in the US are unaware of these and they make the perfect gift for that horse person who is very hard to buy for! Low start with no reserve.

This harness brass measures 2 1/2" in diameter and the hanger is 5/8".
