This and the next one are the largest, this one is 9 1/2" X 3 X 1 1/4, 4 1/2" of the length is plug, tip and stopper. The tip is horn and pewter, the Pewter was poured on the tip and then turned, it is pinned to the horn with 3 iron pins. The base is Walnut held in place by 6 pins it is tapped 1/2-8 and covered in Brass that is held by 4 iron nails. Single band heated and pressed on held by 4 more pins. Probably move of a pocket/bag horn than a primer.
This one is also 9 1/2", again 4 1/2" of it is plug, tip and stopper. The Walnut base is 2 1/2 X 1" and threaded 1/2-8, it is held by 6 pins. It is also covered with a Brass plate, it is held by 2 nails. The tip is two parts made of horn, the collar is threaded 5/8-11 as is the tip and horn body.
This one is smaller at 8", plug, tip and stopper make up about 4" of that. Walnut base again threaded the same as above, it has a Tin cover held by Two Brass tacks. The tip is horn held with 3 pins, the bands are/were held by four pins each. As I was posting the Pix I noticed a crack in the top band so I added 2 more pins to it, it isn't going anywhere.
This is the smallest at 7", plug, stopper and tip being 3 1/2" of it. The base is about 3 1/2" X 7/7ths". It is threaded as the others are with the Brass cover being held by 2 nails. Thje Tp is hron with a Pewter tip pinned to the body with 3 pins. The band is pewter, it was cast round to fit the horn when it was round and then fitted once the horn was flattened. It is held by 2 pins.
