One-of-a-Kind. This is a tremendous American Revolutionary War powder horn which has been scrimshawed to commemorate the service of the soldier who carried it. The soldier depicted a scene of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with roughly 44 buildings and six church spires near the top. Under this is a gorgeous cacophony of arms depicting cannons, flags, swords, halberds, bayonets, and a trumpet. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnder the cacophony is inscribed:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eT.C. : V.

This would be rather difficult to research, but with enough work you may be able to at least identify 3-4 men who it could have belonged to. The horn came to us with the knowledge that it was purchased near Reading, Pennsylvania, which may be a clue to its identification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is some chipping in the horn along the bottom edge, with a crack in the wooden bottom. It measures roughly 9 ½” long and will make an excellent addition to any Revolutionary War collection. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReady for further research and display!\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Original Items","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44863154323525,"sku":"ONJR26MABS064","price":2495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1524\/1342\/files\/2485C905-CFFC-4210-9AA9-EFB571B6380C.jpg?v=1775842705","url":"https:\/\/www.ima-usa.com\/products\/original-american-revolutionary-war-volunteer-pennsylvania-battalion-scrimshaw-powder-horn-with-scene-of-philadelphia-cacophany-of-arms-dated-1780-outstanding","provider":"International Military Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
