Can anyone identify this Leather megaphone looking item??
« on: November 14, 2012, 11:39:42 pm »
Hi!

A friend got this item at an auction tonight and we wondered what it is.  It looks like it is made totally of leather.  It is 6" tall, 5" across the widest part, 1.75" across the smaller end and is 1/2" thick at that wide part. 

It is pretty different looking and we can't imaging what it would be used for.

Thanks in advance for any help.
Jeanne

Mighty small for a megaphone.  They made lots of leather ones but they were much larger!

I would be interested in the sound it would make as well!

I wouldn't be surprised if Bullwinkle showed up at your door if you try it out.

Kind of what I had in mind but older and not for beer !!  Supposedly the thick leather keeps chilled wine cool !!  Would have been a bottom, and this the top ?? Opening big enough for a cork to go through ???
