*SOLD SOLD 11/03* 19th Century Black Powder Horn with U.S. Engravings. MISC 815. - MISC 815
Many antique powder horns were made by soldiers and hunters in their spare time and sometimes crudely carved if decorated at all, but there were also horn makers and engravers, also known as horners, who were incredibly talented at shaping and engraving horns. The identity of most of these artisans have been lost to time since they rarely signed their work, but some are known to collectors based on particular attributes that are emblematic of their work such as the “Pointed Tree Carver” aptly named after the pointed trees found on their horns. In addition to passing time while at sea or stuck in a garrison, simply enjoying artwork, wanting to carry something fancier than a plain horn, and pride of ownership there were practical reasons for having a horn decorated. A soldier would have their own personal powder horn that they carried, but the gunpowder itself would be supplied by the government in bulk. The powder would be stored in kegs or in larger horns in wagons when travelling, or powder magazines at forts, and soldiers would bring their personal powder horns to be refilled. In order to get your own horn back, you needed to have something on it that was identifiable. Measuring 38cm in length and 7 ½ cm at its widest point, beautifully carved depicting the state of New York up to Canada, with forts along the way. In excellent order *see images*. The price includes UK delivery. MISC 815. (The God Box)
