Who made this scrimshawed Tansel style horn?
« on: November 02, 2025, 10:22:10 PM »
I saw 2 nice horns at the antique fair, both by the same maker, but unknown by the seller.  He'd gotten them at some estate sale.  Both had the 2 fishes marks and a Roman numeral date.  Does anyone recognize the maker?

I was told this is a Horn by Harris Maupin.

I have a file of horn makers mark but do not have Harris's mark listed. If you confirm that this is indeed his mark please let me know so I can add it to my listing. Very nice Tansel and certainly Harris has the talent and skill to to that level of work.
