Designed by Charlemagne Tower (1848-1922), while Ambassador to Germany. ACCESSORIES, ETC. 128. CIVIL WAR BAYONET. With sheath and belt-hanger. Arsenal-new condition. Gift of General F. D. Beary. 129. TWO ROUNDS OF ANTI-AIRCRAFT M. G. AMMUNITION. Cal. .50 Gift of General F. D. Beary. 130. POWDER-HORN. L. 14-1/2" Rounded plug in base, with small mushroom-shaped filling-plug. Knife-whittled plug. Octagonal tip. Color; old ivory, shading to black at tip. 131. POWDER HORN. L. 12-1/2" Rounded lathe-turned plug at base, ornamented with brass tacks. Round tip. Colors; dark brown at tip, shading off in light brown and gray to old ivory. 132. ZINC POWDER FLASK. L. 7" Corroded with age. 133. ZINC POWDER FLASK. L. 5" Pistol size. 134. VERY OLD POWDER HORN. L. 11" Acorn tip, flat plug with ball-head threaded filling-plug, old strap attached. Colors; dark brown at tip, shading off to bright orange. This is age-coloring, and proves the horn to be quite old, possibly pre-Revolutionary. A fine piece. 135. DATED POWDER HORN. L. 11" Knife-whittled tip, flat bottom-plug painted red, tip-plug apparently whittled from a bit of ramrod wood. Dated, 1816. Dated horns are rather rare. 136. POWDER HORN WITH BRASS CHARGER.

Ringed tip and rounded wooden plug. Cut into it are the initials "E. W." In the pouch is a tin box marked "Eley, London," containing a few caps. In fine order throughout and very rare. It was once the property of Major Enoch Wolford, a noted Sugar Valley hunter. 139. MOST PECULIAR OLD BULLET MOULD. Casts one conical bullet, about .40 cal., and has a number of unique features.
