Bait Horn

[jackley]

I remember searching for period tinderhorns without much success, but this was some time ago. Has anyone found any they would like to share? I've seen the one above, but it looks recently made.

I have found many pics of tinderhorns in museums, on both sides of the pond. I thought I just read a historical ref to one but I can't find now. I'll keep looking.

Looks like one of the "Sketchbooks" from the artwork...

It's signed R. Norman, probably Rex Norman who writes for Muzzleloader magazine. Might be from an article of his there.

Rex Allen Norman : illustarator for "Chronolodgy of the American Fur trade written by Alex Miller and his own book, " 1837 Sketch book of the Western Fur Trade"
Amazon won't let you look into them however but the text looks right

Now that you mention it Spence, it does also look like the artwork seen in Muzzleloader magazine.
