A Special Commemorative Serving Platter

by Pennsylvania Redware Potter

SELINDA KENNEDY

In Recognition of

The Honourable Company of Horners 25th Anniversary

In recognition of The Honourable Company of Horners’ 25th Anniversary (1997-2021), Selinda Kennedy has designed and handmade a serving platter to celebrate this special occasion.

The platter is 18” tall by 15” wide and features elements of figures and patterns that can be found on various original powder horns of the 17^th and 18^th centuries.  It also features a phrase credited to St. Francis of Assisi that epitomizes the spirit of the artisan.  “He who works with his hands is a laborer – He who works with his hands and his head is a craftsman – He who works with his hand, his head, and his heart is an artist.”  At the center of the platter is an oval featuring the HCH logo with the annotation “25th Anniversary 2021” at its base.  This is indeed a special work of art by Selinda Kennedy and commissioned by the HCH in recognition of the Guild’s founding.

The platter will be raffled off with the drawing taking place during the Guild’s Annual Horn Fair at the Grand Hotel in Altoona, Pennsylvania on March 5th ,2022.  The funds generated from this raffle will go to help offset the Guild’s 25th Anniversary Horn Fair costs. The price for the tickets is 5 dollars for one or 20 dollars for five. Please download, fill-out and mail the tickets to Eric Borneman; his address is on the tickets. http://www.hornguild.org/raffles/25th-anniversary-raffle/

Please note that there will be no registration charge for those attending!  As in past years, all NMLRA members, spouses and friends are welcomed to attend free of charge as guests of the Guild.  This invitation is due to the strong bond that has developed over the years between the NMLRA and the HCH and the devotion of the two organizations to the Longrifle Culture.

Cheyenne Style Tomahawk/War Club Handle Drop by Michael Badhand

All of the feathers are hand painted imitations I painted the red shafted flicker ones.

It is backed with a piece of brain tanned buffalo tipi skin which gives it body.

One original (shown in the enclosed photos) shows it being back this way as well.

It may not be evident to some, but IMO the reason for that is when riding a horse on the windy Plains, an unbacked piece of wool with feathers will get all twisted up by the wind or the motion of the horse.

I did not make the axe head, but had a friend make it for me based on an original. Ax head by Iron John Logan

Fingerwoven Garters by James Blake After the Originals

These well known pair of Fingerwoven Garters are in the collections of the Chicago Field Museum. I examined these in 2018 once belonging to Sir. Jeffery Amherst. The despicable perpetrator of Biological Warfare on Native Peoples. From whom he acquired these Native objects has yet to be determined. These Garters would be great addition to a living historian, Collector or Eastern Woodland Powwow dancers acquisitions.

44th Tennessee Kentucky Rifle Show

Friday-Saturday April 22-23, 2022

Jubilee Banquet Facility 

6700 Jubilee Center Way Knoxville, TN 37912  

"Wayne Elliott Special Award"

HISTORY & PURPOSE OF THIS SHOW 

The Tennessee Kentucky Rifle Show was started 43 years ago by the late Robin Hale, an authority on antique Tennessee rifles. After Robin’s death, the show was continued by others and, in recent years, has been sponsored by a non-profit corporation organized for that purpose. The focus of the show continues to be antique longrifles and pistols primarily from the South. In recent years, due to the great interest by contemporary makers in learning more about, and following the old traditions, we have opened the show to contemporary makers and their work. However, the primary focus of the show continues to be antiques. 

RESTRICTIONS ON DISPLAYS 

Collector items permitted to be displayed are limited to flintlock or percussion-cap muzzleloading longrifles and pistols made in America prior to 1898 and contemporary hand-crafted muzzleloading longrifles and pistols. Related accouterments (horns, bags, knives, etc.) are also welcomed. Cartridge weapons and gunpowder are not permitted. No alcohol or smoking in the showroom. All table holders and invited guests assent to these requirements as a part of their admission to the meeting. 

This is a collectors’ meeting and is not promoted to the general public. We welcome all those who are interested in the preservation of the American long rifle.  

Kentucky Rifles, pistols and related accouterments only.

No cartridge weapons permitted.

The format will be the same as in 2021 with the full use of both rooms. This allows for about 90 tables.

Note: The photo is one of the cabins at Cades Cove. We have stopped by there many times over the years on the way to the Tennessee Kentucky Rifle Show. This is a show with the focus on the antiques. It is an excellent opportunity to study the old as well as see the work of new makers. JR
