Description
Powderhorn cow horn from 1700s. This has been sitting on a shelf in my father's house, untouched for over 40yrs.In overall very good untouched condition with smooth dark colored cow horn body with a richly toned and nicely oxidized age-patina. Please contact me with any questions or more pictures
What I found doing online research:
Of typical American design, ca. 1780; and complete with its original “Trade-type” Brass, tack-fastened base-plug. In overall very good untouched condition with dark and untouched age patina, some scattered handling marks, abrasions and expected signs of use and wear. A very nice example of an authentic Federal Period American Rifleman's Powder Horn, ca. 1780: of the type often found with a Rifleman's "Hunting Bag".
