Folky Artist Horns up for Sale on James D. Julia's
« on: September 13, 2012, 03:53:57 AM »
I may be the last person to know, but evidently there are thirteen of the twenty-seven surviving "Folky Artist" engraved powderhorns up for auction right now, lot #2235: http://jamesdjulia.com/auctions/div_catalog_327.asp?pageREQ=2

Nice set of pictures, though the individual horns aren't identified. I wish there were more...

Here is the American Historic Services page on the Folky artist:

 Do a search on powder horns.

Elnathan ,
   I appreciate that link. The detailed pics gave me inspiration.  These are the style horns I love to build
