Some Horn Flasks....


Pirate flask, good for rum or what have you.  Lined with brewer's pitch with a turned antler spout and maple plug top and bottom.  It has a picture of the Wydah (pronounced wid-ah) Cpat. Black Sam Bellamy's flag ship.  Black Sam was the richest pirate afloat at the time of his death.  His crew were well rewarded  and thus he was well liked by them.  This is a flask one of his mates might had carried.


The reverse has the Wydah name in a banner.  The flask is just over 2 inches in diameter and 4 inches in height.  Will hold enough rum to get you feeling sleepy.

While I am at it, here are a couple of salt boxes I made out of cow horn.


Just hand them pn the wall or from one of your tent poles at super time.  Can keep other stuff in them other than salt.  The one in the foreground has a small wooden spoon instide.
