Scrimshaw powder horn

<< < (5/8) > >>

JW_Halverson:
Scrimshaw was a very elevated form of art in the 1700's, many powderhorns of that age were beautifully scrimshawn (scrimshawed?, scrrimshed?   ???)  Most powderhorns were not made by the people that wore them either, that was done by a "horner", as in Little Jack Horner.  Horners also made horn book covers, combs, spoons, lenses in lanterns (the word lantern derives from 'lanthorn'), and a thousand other handy items that today are cast from plastic. 

And thus ends today's history lesson.
