I was at a yard sale today and found a powder storage item. It is a musician's rattle or shaker. Looked to me like a goard but futher investigation proved it to be a small coconut with a handle on it. It just screamed at me "I WILL HOLD BLACK POWDER". It would look like a goard but is stronger. I wonder has there been any instances of use like this? I will post a picture of it when I get thru with it. Will I drive the PC Nazi's into a frenzi? :rotf: I think it will look good. :thumbsup:

Nah, they used them for bombs in the movie "Swiss Family Robinson". :winking:
 
I have seen old original powder horns made from coconut. I believe there is a coconut powder horn shown in one of George Neumann's books.

Ronnie; Remember they are easy to irritate and have no sense of humor or of the rediculus and sometimes retaliate! So stand fast!!!! Bob
 
When you read "pre 1840" that leaves a whole wide world of ideas open for exploration. :shocked2:
