Description/Item Details: This listing is for a vintage leather horse collar which measures about 25" long by 20" wide at widest point by about 6" high dark brown in color. The hole opening is about 20" from top to bottom. Weighs about 6 lbs 6 oz without box or packaging.
FYI: I do have 1 more similar horse collar available in a separate listing. This item will more than likely be shipped Fed Ex or UPS.
Condition: Keep in mind I am not an expert on this item so I am describing and representing it to the best of my knowledge. Overall very well made and solid horse collar with some more significant flaws and then some normal minor and subtle wear and aging from usage and aging over the years. The buckle loop is tore on the one side see pics for details. In the left rear corner there is a decorative, I believe, flap or overlay is torn or frayed in a section on the right side (see photos). On the top side the weather is wore through the outer layer in a 5" section on one side and on the other side an 8" section plus another 2" section. The belt has one small extra hole in it I believe that don't look natural and some cracking but it is solid. The stitching looks solid overall but is missing in several spots it appears to me. It is very hard and stiff not much flexibility not sure if that is normal or not but I am guessing that aging may have something to do with this. Leather is a bit hard/stiff/dry. Discoloration on the bottom side not sure if this is normal or from usage & wear. Other than this stuff the rest of it is all normal minor wear like cracking, scratches, scuffs, minor small spots with missing outer coat of leather here and there throughout. Far from perfect but at the same time it looks pretty nice overall.

Payment: I prefer immediate payment but buyer has up to 7 days to pay before I open an unpaid item case. I use Pay Pal and am not real familiar with other methods of payment so if you are having any issues with a different payment method let me know. If you don't plan on paying immediately please keep me posted/updated on what is going on that is all I ask. This is all I do for a living so I need to keep things listed so they have a chance to sell if someone doesn't plan on paying for an item I would like to know so I don't have to wait 2 weeks to relist it.

I don't like returns period so ask questions in advance and make sure you want it and it is what you need/want before you purchase. I do not recommend using a cell phone as it is very hard to see a lot of details in the photos.
