Ben I. Voss:
Very pretty! And if it works good on the mice, let me know - I got EXTRA and I might need to borrow it.

Kermit:
...and the race is on to see who replicates this first!  ;D

I want to see them! This is a nice one to "duplicate."

David Rase:
Love the tip detail.  Congratulations on your find.  May we all be so lucky.

Brian:
Very nice indeed.  What a neat "find".

Majorjoel:
That kind of good luck sure takes a lot of "browsing" through a whole lot of glass ware, knick knacks, costume jewelery, and you all know the rest of the stuff most current antique shops stock. I just about went cross eyed after the third store where this horn was found. I have a lot of vision problems looking through glass door cabinets with my bi-focals. Them old powder horns are out there though. Have run across a few others over the years. I found a large scrimmed horn earlier this past summer at my home town antique mall. It was a real screamer. Dated in the 1840's and reference to Catalina Island with whaling ship details pictured. I was negotiating with the owner/dealer on a price but never struck a deal. Kermit....feel free to copy this horn all you like. Here are a couple more pictures.
