American Historical Ephemera and Photography Featuring the Civil War and American Militaria Collection of Bruce B. Hermann

26 in. overall lg. relief carved steer horn with 74 1/2 in. cord sling (generally good condition, with some light scratching and nicking throughout). Horn features finely carved figures and scenes, including a group of armed minutemen captioned in relief, General Washington on horseback captioned in relief, and another unidentified mounted soldier. A rectangular cartouche remains blank underneath the unidentified soldier. 

This horn was likely commissioned for an anniversary, perhaps the 125th, of the Battles of Lexington and Concord, as the horn appears to date from around the turn of the twentieth century.
