Item Description
Original Item. One-of-a-Kind. This is a large Cow Horn Powder Flask, measuring 13 inches in overall length. While possibly intended for a musket or other small arms, this size would sometimes be used for cannon priming. The end of the horn is fitted with a rounded wooden bottom plug which unscrews, and the threading is all hand-carved. There is no plug on this example, which is common to see.
The horn is inscribed on one side with INDEPENDENCE. As there is no prefix or other information, we can only assume this belonged to an American soldier of the Revolution who truly believed in his cause. The inscription is very faint, a testament to how long ago it was carved on. A very nice Revolutionary War horn!
A charming and fresh to the Collecting Market very old Cow horn powder horn, ready to display!
