Simple Rough Finished Horn

(1/1)

Kevin:
Here's a small rough surfaced horn for your viewing pleasure.

5 inches along the outside curve and the spout hole diameter is 3/8th inch.  The base plug is approximately 1 and 7/8th inches by 1 and 9/16ths inches and is secured with 8 small tacks.  Empty and without a stopper when found.

It was in a wooden box with some other gun stuff (12 gauge wad punch, some homemade card wads, etc) at a circa 1980 farm sale.







Enjoy,
Kevin

Probably more people than not had something in-line with this if they were simple settlers or farmers nice window on the past.

   Crude as heck but got the job done.  Wonder how many horns like this were carried.
