Pennsylvania Screw Tip
« on: March 16, 2020, 07:06:41 AM »
Hello, all.
   I wanted to see what you think about my last acquisition. I picked up a screw tip powder horn sold out of Carlisle, PA. it has the characteristics of a Dauphin county horn, to the best of my knowledge,  possessing a shallow dimple on the butt of the plug, and a slight bead running around the border where it meets the horn. The staples are old and pitted, and I believe it has been repaired, as the plug seems to have been glued back in place (the tack holes don't seem to line up anymore.) She appears to be an old girl, and I was pretty amused to see that Carlisle is in the county bordering Dauphin. I've added photos below, and one bonus of my all old horns to date.
