18TH CENTURY REVOLUTIONARY WAR ERA POWDER HORN DATED 1775.

18TH CENTURY REVOLUTIONARY WAR ERA POWDER HORN DATED 1775. This large period 18th century powder horn features interesting engravings scattered over the surface of the horn. Featured are a 3-1/2″ high engraved figure of a man in a tri-comer hat wearing what appears to possibly be a military great coat. Beneath him the date “1775” is engraved. The carving also includes an engraved carved flag, an animal which appears to be a pig, square masted sailing vessel, various Pennsylvania hex symbols, a cock rooster, and a flurry of feathered vines emitting from the top of the horn. The horn also has various initials that could have been the engraver and or the owner. Initials include “E K”, also “H B S”. At the base of the horn near the butt plug, are half round inscribed designs with small dot borders. Most notable of all however, engraved on this horn is the absolutely wonderful large folk art horse, which appears to possibly be a military horse fully saddled with stirrups & horse blanket. The horse is nicely rendered and in a most appealing folk art manner. The horn is fitted with a pine carved buttplug with rnd concentric rings around the outer boarder and a 6-petal flower design in the center. Originally the buttplug had a peg on which the carrying strap was attached, which is now missing and thus a small hole about the size of a 1/4″ in diameter now exists in the buttplug. The buttplug is fastened to the horn by tiny brass brads, the spout of the horn has a carved fluted collar around the diameter of the spout. The spout plug is missing. Accompanying this horn is a letter dated July 17, 2008 by noted horn historian “Walter O’Conner” authenticating the inscription on the horn as being original and authentic. SIZE: Horn is approximately 18″ on the outside curve. CONDITION: Horn is in generally good condition. There is a chip in the wood buttplug on one side and a crack running up the horn about an 1″ from that same spot. The spout also has two small sections of the horn missing near the very tip, at the spout and the horn has been this way for a great long time as both chips have great old oxidation, color and much ware. 4-44214 JJ16 (3,000-5,000)
