In England, the collecting of horse brasses as a popular pastime commenced about 1895. Early designs included the sun or a disc shape, moon or crescent, a star or heart. Later, other designs were created based on family symbols, heraldry or commercial symbols used by trades and businesses. For instance, a brewer might have brasses depicting barrels; a fishmonger might use a dolphin design. Some families used a design from their coat-of-arms. Counties and towns had their own brasses (Nottingham's castle, London's grasshopper or the boar of Lincoln). This martingale horse brass belonged to my stepdad. He had quite a collection of collectible brass items that he passed onto me. In excellent condition with age-appropriate wear. It measures 3½” x 3” H/W; made from cast brass. It was made in England by an unknown maker.
