Dan’l Boone’s own powder horn?

[Jitterbug]

Dan’l Boone’s personal powder horn, perhaps?

Or maybe it’s just a typo, with the decimal point off a couple of spaces?

Maybe it’s filled with an old 10 ounce can of BH209?

He says it’s a “primer horn.” Maybe it actually is filled with primers?

Otherwise, I don’t quite get it. I’ve got several powder horns that I’d let go for half as much!

If anyone spots what makes it so special, please share your feelings with the group!

This guy has stuff posted regularly. I bought a 60’s vintage boat prop from him, for a fair price. His stuff is normally priced a little “optimistically,” but I’ve never seen it this bad.

It's a little-known historical fact that Danl Boone used woven boot laces as his horn strap.

Wow, I could sell mine for about 900 no problem.

That's the 1st thing that caught my eye. I don't think its vintage with nylon cording. The brass is even still shiny!

1,025.

Universal slotted/phillips screw heads bump up the value of everything.

Lol, I kinda slapped it together with what I had on hand at the time. My dog Buster found that horn out in the woods behind the house, a year or more ago.
Without him, I'd probably be bidding on that one up there.

Wow, that's quite the mystery! I have to admit, I'm a bit stumped too. If it was indeed Dan’l Boone's personal powder horn, that would explain the hefty price tag, but something tells me that might not be the case .
