In September 2024 my friend and fellow Kentucky Rifle Association member, Denny Donharl organized the largest exhibit of Huntingdon County, PA made longrifles that had ever been displayed. The Historic Event was held at the Isett Heritage Museum near Huntingdon, PA. The exhibit showcased over 105 original antique longrifles that were made in Huntingdon County during the 19th and early 20th centuries.
More than sixteen individuals collaborated to share their rifles from their collections in this display.
This full-color eighteen-page book with over 26 photos from the event showing many of the rifles that were displayed along with some historic items relating to gun making in the county was put together following the event.
A limited printing of this edition was produced, and these are now available direct from me for $28.00, including postage at the following contacts:

There is significant carry wear on the inside curve of this horn with the body worn flat at the inside. The outer tip is a professional replacement. There is nice patina on this horn.

Very Rare Original Eastern PA Double Screw-tip Horn:
Five-Segment Inkwell (or Penner) w/ built in Pen knife:
Five-Piece Inkwell (or Penner) w/built in Pen Knife: The sections of this inkwell were turned from solid pieces of naturally black horn. It is a close replica of two originals I have seen and measured, both are now in the collection at Winterthur near Wilming, DE. This replicates originals from the mid-eighteenth century. The bottom section holds pounce (or "sand") for prepping the paper and assisting with drying the ink, next is a storage section for ink powder, or sealing wafers. Then the hollow section with cork holds the liquid ink for writing. The topmost segment stores the integral pen knife and serves as the knife handle when prepping the quill pen.
The whole assembly then becomes a self-contained traveling writing set.
The set measures approximately 6-1/2" tall when together.
Price $485.00, plus $12.00 for postage if shipped USPS Priority Mail.
