Artisan Tom Greco is well known as a maker of distinctive,
top-quality frontier art. Not surprisingly, he’s contributed a standout bag and
horn set for this year’s CLF fundraising auction. The body of Greco’s unique possibles
bag is crafted from goat hide, which is richly colored with a brown leather dye
and a sealing coat of grease. The warm color of the bag contrasts nicely with
the outer flap, as well as the flap of a smaller pocket, which are made from alligator
skin.
Greco stained the matching powder
horn with multiple coats of chromic acid. The set comes complete with a hickory
ball starter as well as a buffalo horn vent pick and horse hair pan brush, both
of which are accented with wooden beads.
