Reproduction 4th-Generation York County, PA Screw-Tip Day Horn
This little beauty is made in the style of one of my favorite powder horns: the 4th-generation York horn. The German-influenced chip-carved design in the wooden base plug is a beautiful feature. The screw tip makes this horn a breeze to fill. This is a smaller horn, only 9.5" across (11.5" along the curve), but it's the perfect size to carry out into the woods on your next day hunt.
Caring for your powder horn.
Horn items are susceptible to moth and beetle damage. The best thing you can do to avoid this damage is simply to fill it with black powder and use it. If you plan to store your horn, you might be tempted to put it in a box and tuck it away on the top shelf next to the extra towels in the second bedroom where it's good and dry. Giving in to this temptation, may not be a sin, but it's pretty close. You'll be storing up your treasure where moth doth corrupt. You see, worms prefer to dine in the darkness. Instead, when you ain't using it, hang it up on display and let it shine for everyone to see. But be forewarned: they will be bound to ask, "where did you get that powder horn?" And you can say, "from K. Carter, hornsmith, at KC-Hornworks.com."
One last thing: It's always kinda nice to give your powder horn a name. It's just one more way of showing your horn that you really do care.
