Title: Belated Christmas - 2 Old Horns
Post by: Kevin on January 05, 2023, 06:19:58 PM: Greetings All,

We had a merry little covid Christmas this year. When we finally gathered together I was surprised with the gift of two old horns. Supposedly, many years ago, they were found at a flea market in Southeast PA somewhere outside of Philadelphia. Complete with cracks and some beetle damage - I still enjoy them greatly.

Paneled horn is about 12 inches on the outside curve. The skinny-necked horn is about 13.25 inches on the outside curve.

Enjoy,
Kevin

Thanks, Tim

...........is that a drawer pull in the top one?

Tim

Correct again. It's slightly over 3/8ths of an inch in diameter.

In revisiting this thread I realized that I failed to mention that the paneled horn has 9 panels.

Take Care everyone,
Kevin
