Flattened, Antique, Black Powder Horn with Brass End Cap, Hardware and Charger, Possible Contemporary Restoration
$95.00
I believe this horn has been restored by the contemporary artisan Tom Pike. The body of the horn has the feel and patina of an aged piece, likely mid to late 1800's. The hardware is more difficult to date, the brass end cap has a patina of age as well, but I believe it is not original to the horn. The brass rings for a carry strap are period appropriate, but I believe these are contemporary, the charger is a contemporary reproduction. The charger spring is missing and would need to be replaced if use of this horn is desired. The spout is graduated, with three different load selections, ability to adjust the spout is frozen.
Providence of the horn indicated that it came from the Fort Tuscarora Museum and Store, which was founded and run by a gentleman named Tom Pike. Mr. Pike was known as "a prodigious collector as well as the proprietor of Fort Tuscarora Museum located near New Lisbon OH". He built a reputation for meticulous restoration of antique black powder rifles, guns and horns.
The horn is approx. 9 1/2 inches long from the end cap to tip of the charges spout, not accounting for the curvature of the horn. The end piece is oval in shape, approx. 3 inches long and 1 1/2 inches wide. External diameter of the spout is approx. 1/2 inch, the charger does not function. Please carefully review all photos for full perspective.
