This vintage book contains a detailed treatise on horse brasses, being a guide to their origin and the symbolic meaning of various designs. This fascinating and profusely illustrated volume is highly recommended for horse brass collectors and those with an interest in the subject, and would make for a worthy addition to any collection.
