Anyone know who made this? Any guesses at the type of leather?    Thanks! |

One of the things that stands out as unique to me is what appears to be a black fall.
Does that hint to any particular whipmakers? Most of these whips I see have white falls.

I could be wrong, but to me it looks like the whips that Todd's costumes offers. Don't quote me on that though.

I don't think so-- I own a Todd's costumes. The fall is white and the plaiting isn't nearly as even.
That said-- the guy is selling it for roughly the same price as a Todd's.

Also, the Turk's Head on my Todd's is a little different. Just the way the wrist loop sticks out of the knot looks different.

Actually... hmmm... you may be right. The current pics on Todd's site show black falls. Guess that's a recent change?
Mine is about 4 years old now..."
Well, good to know! Won't run out and grab this, then. Was hoping I'd found a decent deal.

I was just basing it on other pictures I'd seen on Todd's site.

So when did he adopt that distinctive black fall?

Based off what I see on his site now I agree with it being a Todd's. I don't like the black/brown fall, the only thing Todd really had going for his whips is they looked ok as a costume Indy whip. Changing something so specific to Indy whips changes my opinion on that  |
