whittled from a bit of ramrod wood. Dated, 1816. Dated horns are

Horn and pouch are fastened to one strap. The horn is 16-1/2 inches in
length, of a beautiful pale green color and highly polished. 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.
