Title: Shot Bag: Nobody wants to buy that!
Post by: Kevin on November 08, 2020, 01:18:48 AM

Greetings All,

Back in the mid-1970s at an estate sale my family had just bought a small powder horn.  The next item put up for the auctioneer to sell was a skinny cloth shot bag.  He says something along the line of: Nobody want to but that!  Give it to whoever just got that powder horn.

So, here is the bonus bag for your viewing pleasure.  It had a small amount of shot (#6 to #7 & 1/2 or so) in it.

Oh, and here's the powder horn too.

Not everyone feels that way about a 'raggedy-bag,' as those are the best ones. Some are indeed better than others, but they are all good. I would go for this one in a minute. It has loads of character. Thank you for bringing it out to look at.
