Powder Horn by Cory Joe Stewart

This is one of Cory Stewart's early horns. Cory Stewart has been studying Early American History for years. He found this old saying about what you should do concerning your wife and your powder horn.

This horn has a small dome base with a staple. The scallops at the tip add a nice touch. The throat has some nice engrailing. 

The horn is engraved with:

"Take not this horn

for fare or shame

for on it lies the owners name

My horn my wife I

Do intend to use

But not to lend if that

should cause strife

I would lend me horn

before me wife"
