FRENCH & INDIAN WAR HORN OF JACOB BOGAR, FORT OSWEGO, 1759.

Fine French & Indian War carved horn, about 16″ overall with British coat of arms and five-line panel “JACOB BOGAR DUS HIS HORN MADE AT OSWAGO OCT YE 18 ANO 1759”. Bogar draws a fine rendition of Fort Oswego showing buildings and shows mortar emplacements outside the fort with lines drawn showing where balls have fallen apparently. Interesting detailed map with the word “Niagara” written to the left but this fort is not in the shape of Niagara, but Oswego. Horn is also embellished with a horse tied to a tree & prancing deer. A pleasant well patinaed & well preserved horn. PROVENANCE: An extraordinary private estate collection of a distinguished Virginia gentleman. CONDITION: Very good and appears as found with smooth patina with good details, wear where expected, wood plugs still have remnants of old blue milk paint and iron staple. 52751-15 (4,000-6,000) – Lot 2001
