Title: Priming horn?
Post by: Hallibag on May 26, 2025, 08:14:19 PM

This little (about 4” long) horn appeared in a local antique store, described as a snuff bottle. I think it’s more likely a small powder horn, for priming. Would you agree?

 Based on the position of the opening and the shape of the tip I would think it is a Snuff horn. Whatever, the stopper looks newer.
