One of the advantages of being an insomniac - you get to the boot-sales in good time. I can never be bothered to get out of bed, so I only have half the candlesticks I should have.
Looks like it used to be a functioning collar but was fashioned into a decorative piece. Interesting find. You know how they have shabby chic? I guess you could call this man deco. Or doggy deco.
I've now done a bit of net research, and it seems to be ENGLISH. I've even found the word DOG scribbled into the name tag bit. One in good nick seems to be worth about £400.... mine is a bit rough, and probably only worth £399.

The collar must have been for a fairly solid dog. I still see the odd teenager wearing something similar around their necks.

Yikes, I wouldn't have wanted to meet that dog in a dark alley! Great find.
I think John's got one like that Cro, but it says 'sex slave' on the side...
Lady M refuses to try it on!
Try lining it with a bit of fur, Cro. That should do the trick...
