Day bag & horn

(1/1)

Nothing special about this country day bag and horn except, I guess, it's mine. Found it at a very reasonable cost at the Mt. Pleasant, S.C. show early this month. Have long (I mean decades) wanted just what this combination has: home made bag, horn, and patch knife, which looks like a blade which started life as a 19th Century table knife. Would have been at home here in a western North Carolina mountaineer's cabin.

I'm minded of a large indoor antique mall that used to be in Pigeon Forge. In the 1980s or so there were always a number of day bags. A suspicious number. I never felt moved to acquire one. Someone told me several years ago there was a fellow who had bought a number of those large, leather mailbags mailmen used to have hung over their shoulders. Seems these were rendered into the hunting pouches populating that mall.
