History:
Collecting horse brasses for their own sake, other than as decorations for a harness, seems to have started around 1880. The English women bought the newly issued, pierced-design, die-struck brasses which were used to make a pin-cushion. A little later they were used as fingerplates on doors.
Beginning around the 1890s, literature on the brasses appeared, largely driven by a Victorian tendency to romanticize them as having deep, esoteric, & ancient roots.
