I believe this is about the 4th time he's tried getting rid of this at this price.  Persistent bugger isn't he.

  I read where the glass powder horns were early 19th c. Just out of curiosity, does anyone here know for sure either way?

Artificer:
Dumb question time.  Is it a sure thing this indeed is a powder horn and not meant for something else?   I'm wondering if it was an Apothecary Bottle or a scent bottle due to the flutes in the glass and the fact the bottom appears to have been deliberately flattened so it would stand upright, perhaps? 

Bruce:
Only a d*** fool, wanting to part quickly with his money, would seek possession for such a questionable item.  It is a never ending surprise to me to see what people will buy... or not.
