Another Powder Horn...Applied tip

[CampbellClan]

I bought this horn blank at Friendship this year and finally got around to doing something with it. Fred Woods ( AKA WOODY) turned my applied tip out of a scrap piece of wood, it's secured with some epoxy and a couple of toothpicks epoxied as well. I used an old piece of Walnut for my base plug and it is secured by some wooden dowel rods (  from my last shiska bob dinner) I wanted this horn to look as if it was used quite a lot... but not antiqued. The scrimshaw is "Ok".. I may add some more to it later, as the mood strikes me.What ya all think? Also what time period would this fit into? Any and all comments welcome!

Beings you asked, the lettering on your lobed contemporary powder horn obviously tells the story of the period your asking about and the turned wood(?) spout shows that it is 21st century. __ Needs some color!

Rick,I did color it before it found a new home and I forgot to take a picture.. go figure.. What is a turned applied tip supposed to look like? I never really looked into that... can you show me an example or two? Is the applied tip more of a modern thing or is it actually a 18th century invention? thanks

The applied tip powder horns are definitely not a modern thing.  Look in the powder horn section and I think I igt have a couple posted there or do a google search for "Southern Banded Powder Horns" and you should see a bunch of examples.
