This is a powder flask made from a cow horn from the 1800's. The horn measures 14 1/2" in length, 3 1/2" across the butte plug and 3/4" across the spout. The horn has aged nicely and shows no cracks or splits. The butte plug is held secure with a single brass pin. This one seems to depend on an interference fit to keep it in place. The plug has a crack that runs from one side to the other. A section of the rawhide suspension strap is still present, but cannot be used to suspend. The spout plug is missing in action. The size of this one makes me think this one was used to store powder in. There are no designs or names carved into the horn. This horn came out of the spring Poulin auction.
