Let's see those powder horn's

<< < (2/2)

Stoner:
What is a fair price for raw horns? I was in antique store today and they had them for $10-$20. Also had a black one similar to  JW_Halverson's. On a side note there was two sleeves from a womans mink coat for $20. Thought about quivers or possibles bags. John

JW_Halverson:
I have never seen an authentic antique powderhorn in an antique store, but I have seen a lot of porly made modern ones from Mexico being foisted as antiques.

Look fine workmanship.  Does the spout come to a graceful curve that is well finished and artistic. Or is it clunky and uneven? Next, is the plug in the large end set with wooden pegs around the rim of the horn or metal nailheads?  Wooden pegs, ESPECIALLY if they are square, are common in old horns.
