One of our Founding Members and Master Horners, the late Erv Tschantz, wanted a Master Horner Roland Cadle horn, but the only way he could get one, was by buying this amazing rig of powder horn, pouch, knife and a small tomahawk hanging off the back! This set was a proud possession and as such it has been donated to the guild by Erv’s wife, Julie. It is her wish that the outfit goes to someone who understands its significance and that it benefits the guild.
The set consists of a Roland Cadle horn and a shooting bag, adorned with a knife and tomahawk, each with their own unique crafted details made in a historic manner.
Tickets for the raffle are $5 each, or a sheet of 5 tickets for $20 dollars, winning ticket will be drawn at noon on Sunday, at the Gunmakers Fair at Kempton. They can be printed and mailed to HCH treasurer Jim Steele (address on downloaded tickets), or in person at the event.
HCH Summer Reception Auction
Summer heat and humidity requires proper hydration, and what better way to drink your necessary fluids, than in a set of frosted glass contemporary horn stemware donated by John Kiselica, or in a traditional horn beaker with a chimed horn bottom, crafted by Journeyman Jeff Gier, with a second beaker on the way crafted by an undisclosed member.
**There will be an additional relevant item to the winning bidder, at the close of the auction.**
