I would have included a pic, but not sharp enough to figure out how to include pic with the 'browse'  button that puts pic on station. I'm sure there are ways, but I don't know how. With instructions I'm sure I will end up in Brooklyn.  thank for input.

If you look on the home page at "Technical Help", there a few ways listed to help. do you use photobucket? it'a free online picture site. it's easy to use. but check in "Technical Help" section..  flwa

they look like a poor mans horns , and the styling could just about fit any time period from 18`th century right through to late 19`th .  nice examples of common early american horns !

CRAZELL:      the pic is in my open question above. At least I can see it on my screen, can you ??

BEOWULF:   you opinion of 'poor' man horn anywhere from 18th to 19th century is more information then I had before.  Still don't know what to offer, even if for only one.  Thanks
