Clayton Smith Merlin Hoods - Pair - one for merlin and one for jack
A pair of hoods by the master maker Clayton Smith of Montana, USA. The brown and tan hood shown in photo is for the merlin (female) with the brown and blue hood for the jack (male). Made at my request in 1985, barely used, near perfect condition. Internal cross-stitching with regular braces. These were made prior to Clay developing his "posi-lock" brace system. Hood braces for the jack merlin have a few tooth marks on it from my use.
Sold only as the pair - they will not be split up.
Starting bid $25 - auction ends in 9 days, on December 9.
