Flea Market Find

[redhawk]

Went to the Metrolina Flea market today and dug these two powder horns out of a box of junk.  One is a flat horn and the other a  southern style powder horn.  The lady said they came from an estate sale in Randolph county.  She showed me a tin type of a Confederate soldier Jediah Branch .  He was in the 36th regiment one of the " Uwharrie Boys".  The picture showed a soldier with I believe the flat powder horn I bought. Fortunately she didn't see it in the picture.  If she had she would not have probably  sold it.  I wanted the tin type and the horn but she didn't want to sell  it so I just came home with 2 powder horns.  I get first dibs on the tin type  if she decides to sell it.   I got both of them for $20  so I was happy.   I was especially happy to get some history to go along with the horns. I am going to do some research on the soldier and see what battles he may have fought in.

Very good deal.
