Beschreibung:

A fine example of a Tim Tansel patriotic engraved powder horn measuring 8.25" through the curve. The horn proper displays the typical characteristics of Tansel horns such the patriotic eagle with spread wings covered by a shield holding the olive branch with the right claw and arrows in the left claw. A banner running through the eagle's beak marked "E Pluribus Unum" next to a date of "1849." One running deer with initials "DP" marked above. An engraved general on horse back waiving his hand with "General Taylor" marked underneath in a banner. Wood base marked "M.A. Steenburn" in black ink. Engraved borders around the butt and recessed rail. Smooth throat to raised ring and spout. A combination of wood pegs with later addition of metal braids. Condition: A very good example of a patriotic engraved powder horn with General Taylor. A very pleasing yellowing patina throughout with very sharp and crisp engraving. The base, throat, raised ring and spout with a brown patina. Most of the wear isolated to the spout and base. Very good overall condition.
