A powder horn with an etched map of British colonial forts in New York. Soldiers serving under Geo. III would carve these. This particular example is hand formed/hand etched, wear/missing details to etched map from being handled, scratches/small nicks. It has brass posts where the brass hook was for the carrying handle. I am unsure of the exact age and to be conservative, I believe this is from the first half of the 1900's, but it may be earlier. Selling as age unknown.
