Lot 77:
Three Tooled and Carved Leather Handgun Holsters
Sold for: $45
Description
This lot comprises three leather handgun holsters featuring various styles of decorative tooling and construction. The first holster is finished with a basketweave pattern and includes a top flap secured by a brass-toned snap button. The second holster is a pouch design with hand-tooled floral motifs and whipstitched leather edges. The third holster displays deep-relief Western-style floral and scrollwork tooling with whipstitched edges and a matching laced safety strap with a black snap closure. All three holsters show signs of significant use and aging. No manufacturer markings, signatures, or model stamps are visible on the surfaces or reverse sides of the items.
Condition report:
The holsters are in aged, used condition. The leather surfaces exhibit widespread darkening, surface cracking, scuffing, and loss of original finish. The whipstitched edges show some fraying and wear but remain generally secure. The snap closures show surface oxidation and finish loss but appear to be in functional order. The interiors are worn and darkened from previous use with firearms.
