Lot 1: Powder Horn by: Brett Davis

In the beginning part of the 19th Century, the horn makers of York County Pennsylvania were making powder horns by the barrel and shipping them out all over the rapidly expanding country. Pennsylvania artist Brett Davis has captured the style of the 3rd generation perfectly. It has a turned cherry base with detailed rope carving and an iron staple to hold the strap.The horn body, with its distinctive two-band engraving, leads to a beautifully turned horn tip with a brass ferrule that can be unscrewed for ease of filling. This is a wonderful opportunity to pick up a masterfully made horn!
