Description: A FINE & SCARCE AMERICAN REVOLUTIONARY WAR PERIOD ENGLISH "BROWN BESS/QUEEN ANN TYPE" PRESSED & TURNED COWHORN POWDER HORN w/ POWDER-MEASURE, ca. 1750-1770: In overall fine untouched condition with smooth, pressed and turned, translucent, cowhorn surfaces. The 8 ½”, light colored cow horn body with nicely sculpted conical contours. A carved and turned, threaded spout with its original turned, cowhorn, end-cap and an integral Powder-Measure for a "Musket-size" powder-charge. Of classic 18th Century English Military form and of the type of Powder Flask associated with the English Brown Bess Musket. Complete with its original brass-pin-fastened, flat, hardwood base-plug with smooth, wooden surfaces and a later "A. J. McALRICH? AUG. 20, 1913" owner's inscription in coarsely scribed characters (possibly a family descendant of its original owner?). Overall, a very nice example of a mid-18th Century/American Revolutionary War Period English "Brown Bess/Queen Ann" Type Powder Flask, ca. 1750-1770.
