1781ish?- the whole Kit and Kaboodle

It looks like Gary Birch to me, Gary made some excellent shooting bags and delved in to other items as well including a 18th century styled Jack in the box that was very very cool.
The last I was aware he was doing modern art for the walls of high dollar mansions, probably pays better than making shooting bags.

I have one of Gary's block prints hanging in my house and it is one of my true prizes. His prints bring big money.

You may think you were hoodwinked but it seems what you bought is worth more than antiques?

Actually I only had $50's and $100's in my wallet at the time. Could have used change I suppose but I haven't carried that in my pockets in probably 40+ years. Sorry if I offended you, that wasn't my intention.

I wish that that was the only denomination of bills in my wallet. O have to carry my $ in a change purse! and no offences taken, just busting balls!

I don't see anything in the ad that says the shot bag or accessaries were made in 1781...Have never seen bags, horns, accessaries from the 18th century that look that new...Builders of guns, horns, etc now are very good at aging their products...Did you inquire before bidding as to what year or century this was made in??? Looks like a case of Buyer Beware....

Not to hurt your feelings but Gary Birch is the Gold Standard!

My feelings are not hurt, and the so-called gold standards of anything is in the eye of the beholder. Nice work sure but not the only one with such capabilities.
