This listing has been REMOVED and is no longer active
Hello all. A little while ago I started a thread in hopes of identifying a powder horn I purchased locally. I am fairly certain it is antique from the patina on the metal and the horn itself, beetle damage, and because it was still full of black powder.
While I haven't been able to get a positive ID on it, it seems that people in both threads feel it is at least 200 years old, possibly an artillery/cannon priming horn, or a hunting horn, or a shot horn, due to its relatively small size. Overall, following the outer curve the piece is 13 inches long. It is 3.25 across at the base, and around 1 3/8 inches thick. It does not taper distally. The viewing hole (in the tube) is 0.5 inches in diameter.
Unfortunately I do not have the time to get it properly appraised or identified due to my busy work schedule.
I would like to sell it for $150.00 plus shipping, and am open to offers.www.addisondelisle.com
