Nuther old horn

(1/4) > >>

ridjrunr:
I picked this up yesterday on the way home from acdr apt. I knew it was at an antique shop as of a couple weeks ago and its been just simmering on my conscious.
151/4” around the outside curve and rh carry to boot. A couple small bug chews but minimal and will be sealed with beeswax.
That leather thong will be replaced with a braintan wang. The spot plug and measure are both carved of horn. Base plug of walnut i think.

ridjrunr:
Spout plug and measure

No indication of that, it may just be from first half of 1900's. Eitherway, I like it alot. Later, maybe today I'll determine the amount that little measure throws.

It looks as though it could hold pretty close to a full pound of powder.  :hairy
