The wooden plug has a turned, threaded knob in the center and there are 2 iron eyelets attached to the body for carrying strap attachment. The horn measures about 12" overall, including the cone-shaped pouring spout. CONDITION: Brass charger is slightly loose. Shows some wear to marking and some minor cracking and losses at bottom around plug.

CONDITION: Very good, showing some minor marks from use and a tiny hairline crack at the spout. (C) A large screw-tip powder horn attributed to Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. This horn measures about 13" overall, the horn body has a green hue, and there is a large iron staple towards the spout for a carry strap.
