My new/old horn and bag

[JamesT]

So ive had this horn laying around my entire life. I used to play with it as a child. It was the remaining piece of either a Davey Crockett or Daniel Boone play set offered in the Sears Christmas catalog of the 1950s era. Any of y'all remember them? Anyhow it was from my Fathers youth and was saved by him and then me all these years. He is now passed on and I decided I would do something with it. I gave it to a Horner friend from Boone NC and gave him full artistic licence. He also crafted a bag to go along with it. I now have something sentimental that can be carried into the squirrel woods. Before and after photos of the horn. What do you think of it?

The shot pouch is good, but WOW did your Horner do a GREAT job on that horn!! He turned a family heirloom into an instant family treasure!

I think we all grew up in a better time. back in the 50's we had no drive buy's, for something to do?

That horn is a true work of art.

That horn is amazing!

Your friend is clearly not only a good friend but also a skilled horner. He did a beauiful job on the transformation.
Nice bag, too, but the horn is stunning!

Nice horn. It is almost like a bottle or flask.

 

[OhioHawkeye]

Wonderful.
Such a blessing

Thanks for all the kind replies. I had my Fathers initials put on it. Thought it would be a nice touch. I like the pinwheels as well. I have seen them on original examples. This is the first flat horn/ flask ive owned and I am really enjoying it.
