No, as the OP stated above, it's the one he made reference to in his post. (You just have missed that part?) :wink:azmntman said:

No I just didn't see the pic (from facebook?) I don't do facebook, too old :shake:
It's posted above. Please read all the posts before asking questions.azmntman said:
I saw it above! And i'ts the only one posted (by you) so I was thinking maybe you owned it or made it (vs finding a photo). I read all the posts. SORRY :surrender:
Don't feel like the Lone Ranger.
I also only see one photo in this entire topic.
The one posted by Claude.
I also see no reference to a photo made by the OP except for the comment about facebook.
Anyway, I'll make a wild guess and say it is doubtful that many if any mountain men carried such a device.
Had it been commonly used I think they would be showing up at the various Mountain Man museums and all of our museum visitors would be piping up and saying, "Sure they used them. I've seen lots of them at the ___________ Museum. They were all over the place." :grin:

I think they are kinda cool but not practical to carry afield (like Claude said a few balls in the pocket would do as well or better).

I've made a number of horns with bird beaks. In the photos, the large flat horn holds enough .535s for the woods walk at Friendship. The standing one with a flat base was used when loading from the bench. It holds .395s.
I made another small flat horn for .490s not in the photo. It was made for the woods walk too.

Pletch

Beautiful! Could be a dolphin too! Excellent craftsmanship!
I believe that to be an example of a mountain man nose hair remover, I think a ball just got stuck in it.

OK, now I know. 
Never heard of such a thing before.
Without using, I'm wondering about the practicality. :hmm: Jest wunderin'. :idunno:
