Here is a rather unique horn/flask. Slightly flattened, it will sit upright on a flat surface. What I find interesting is the flask head. It appears that the powder volume is is adjusted by turning the female portion of the spout vertically, up or down. Never seen another like this. Still not 100% sure how it's supposed to work. LOL

pull the tab on the top side, to the left or rite.
 
As yet, I do not have a horn... But this is surly inspirational work. Thanks for sharing! I will make an attempt at making my own version this winter.

Allegheny & Monongahela rivers join at the point, to form the Ohio river. I was born here in Pittsburgh. Turtle is a symbol of the Pennsylvania Indians, to whom we are related, albeit only by a second marriage.
