Fester Report post Posted November 15, 2012 My cousin sent me some pics of a leather item he found at a yard sale or thrift store and he has no idea what it is. I'm completely stumped. Anyone have any idea? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fester Report post Posted November 15, 2012 Haha! That was my cousin's guess, too! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shtoink Report post Posted November 15, 2012 I believe it is a guidon holster. They are used for parades or extended carrying of flags and guidons. There are quite a few different variations on it, but they all to pretty much the same job. An example can be seen here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

King's X Report post Posted November 17, 2012 It is a table wine bottle holder. Make It With Leather magazine had an article regarding how to make this item many years ago! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fester Report post Posted November 17, 2012 (edited) Awesome info! Thanks a bunch everyone. Y'all rock! Edit: He's very thankful for big mystery being revealed and would like to know what something like this might be worth. He's an eBay powerseller genius with mad selling skills, lol... IF he knows what it is he's selling, anyways. Haha! Thanks in advance! Edited November 18, 2012 by Fester Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shtoink Report post Posted November 18, 2012 Well, I stand corrected... I think I was thrown off about the scale with the first image. After that, I sort of locked in on one thought and prevented anything else from entering. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fester Report post Posted November 19, 2012 Apologies for that, Shtoink. He's a pretty big fellow so I could see where his hands might have messed up the scale in the first pic a bit. Yours was a better guess than any of the ideas I was coming up with, I gaurantee that! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
