Crudely made. Former property of Seth Nelson, Sr., the father of the maker of Nos. 77 and 78. Period 1830-'50.
80. POWDER HORN AND BULLET POUCH.
The 12-inch horn is still fitted with the original tip-plug and contains a quantity of rifle-powder, of about FFF texture. These powder-and-bullet sets are now much rarer than the rifles with which they were used. A fine old pioneer piece.
