What is this Horn Shaped Thing
« on: September 29, 2013, 08:10:09 am »
Another one of my one dollar yard sale finds. I thought at first it might be a car vase but it is too cheaply made of brass plated steel. It is about 12 inches long and is very old. I don't see any sign of it fitting in a ring to be hung on a wall. There would have been a mark at that point you would think.  It does not look like it ever had water in it. My wife will probably use it as a little cornucopia for fall.

Are there holes to hang it? It looke like you put dried flowers in it. Then hang it.
