Small Horns Pt I
« on: March 31, 2016, 07:07:20 PM »
 All of these are fairly small, pocket or bag horn. Nothing fancy, a couple are made up of two or three horns.

 Tim C.

This one is about 7".





This one again about 7"  





This one about 8", it also has a nail for a strap and an iron ring to retain the strap at the neck.





This one goes about 7 1/2" and has panels cut on it.



 Got a couple more, I'll put them up later.

Thanks for posting, beautiful work. It never ceases to amaze me that 'small horns' are not the norm.

I really like that idea of using the smaller horns in that way.Very interesting.Im going to try that.If you don't mind.Getting good horns is like pulling teeth sometimes.I miss they days of going down to the local meat packaging place getting them for .25.

I think that small horns were much more common than many think. I have a number of original small horns that made it out here to the West Coast.

 I will go along with that. Unless you were a Long Hunter and had to depend on stations for powder but even then you may have had a pack horse. We know from reference that they carried a storage horn when traveling as a group but I'll bet there was still a keg of powder in their baggage. The carving of ones name on a horn has been described as a way to identify the owner after some volunteer :) picked up all the horns filled them and returned them to their owner via the name on it. i.e. "Tim Crosby His Horn".
 Just M2CW, I'm sure we all have our thoughts.
