A probable bent plate fragment from an animal collard dating to the 18th century AD.

At one narrow terminal there is a D-shaped projecting tab that is narrower than the plate (16.6mm wide) whilst at the corners of the opposite narrow edge there are two narrow rectangular projections that fold over 360 degrees to form cylindrical hinges. Corroded material remains in these hinges possibly all that remains of an iron axis bar. On the reverse of the pla…

A late 18th Century inscribed copper-alloy dog collar comprising two hinged elements, with a rivet and rove or nut on each, and an iron hinge bar. The plate was found in two pieces some months apart. The legend reads THE RT HON THOMAS HARLEY HORLEY SURRY (The Hon Thomas Harley of Hooley (1730-1804)). The place given is a mistake as Harley lived at Hooley House in Hooley, not in Horley.
