Powder Horn Search
A powder horn that sold at an estate auction in West Finley, PA in the 1990's is being sought. It is a revolutionary war relic that was made by my ancestor. I have photos of the horn and want to know the best way to find the trail leading to its current owner. It's out there somewhere. Any ideas?

Try posting it on AmericianLongriflesForums. These guys know this sort of thing inside and out. 0 -
Thank you. Good advice. I believe the horn sold for about $700 in 1991 and that would mean that the person who bought it knew what it was. So, the chances of this thing being bought by a know-nothing and ending up in a child's toybox are slim. My guess is that it is on display or being used in reenactments. 0
