This one I really like. It speaks to my primitive AMM rendezvousing youth.

This Eighteenth century style pouch and horn are in the homespun frontier style. The oak tanned cowhide bag measures ten and a half inches long and 5 and a half inches deep. It has a simple domed metal button closure and an internal pocket. The waxed hemp strap is wide and should make a comfortable carry.
This horn is perfect for this bag. It has charming folk art animal figures and a sturdy construction. There is also a powder measure, and a pan brush of antler. This is a great set that is artfully aged and intentionally primitive.
Lawrence Fiorillo and Todd Hambrick have created a horn and bag that speak of the frontier folk, plain simple tastes but a demand for function and a subtle sense of whimsy. This would be great with a smooth bore or a plain workmanlike rifle, perfectly at home with a Pennsylvania, Virginia, Kentucky or Southern Mountain gun.
Lawrence and Todd are new artists for the auction. We hope to see more of their work in the future
