I couldn’t resist the bird, lol reminds me of a VA rail. It’s the perfect size day horn too….

The history was unknown. Unfortunately, it seems that it was bought in an estate sale or something like that and no history was passed down with it. It has a lot of wear and a lot of the designs are worn off. The nails that hold the base on are definitely hand made and I’m not sure how the end of the horn was cut but it was not with a saw, it’s almost scalloped. I guess there’s no way to tell how old it really is. Not bad for less than $60.
