LOT OF 3 EARLY POWDERHORNS.

LOT OF 3 EARLY POWDERHORNS. First is a large 19th c. “Master-type horn”. With flat wood plug affixed with a brass band and brass brads. Carved spout with missing plug. A simple, crude, but period scrimshaw canoe fitted with a sail, a long rifle, crossed tomahawks and bow and arrow, initials “MC 1812”. The second an early powderhorn sans scrimshaw but having an unusual wood plug in the base. The pine plug, fitted in the center with a small fragment of glass. Beneath it, a very early piece of paper inscribed what appears to be “Abner Cheever Lynn? April 3rd 1772”. Carved spout with wood plug. Third horn with domed, turned wood buttplug, affixed with early iron nails. The spout simply carved with a nice carved wood plug. Scrimshawed on one side with a serpent, 2 squirrels, and a running fox. Dated “1881 1874 B.A. HOLT” The inscribed scrim design, however, looks much much older than the date. CONDITION: 1812 horn generally good. Horn allover old stain and scratched, never carved. Third horn generally good. 4-33412 JJ74 (500-1,000)
