Natural cow horn with leather strap and wooden plug. This mid-19th century powder horn features hand-carved "US" marking on end cap and "Co. G" regimental designation with "REGULARS" inscription along the body. The curved natural horn displays classic teardrop shape with dark amber patina developed through military field use.

Research indicates this horn most likely belonged to a Regular Army soldier during the early-mid 19th century, with the War of 1812 period being particularly likely when U.S. Regulars used powder horns and proudly distinguished themselves from militia units. However, powder horns did see some continued (if limited) use in the Civil War, particularly early in the conflict or among Regular Army units that existed as a small core within the Union Army. These career soldiers took pride in being "Regulars" among the vast force of state volunteer regiments, and a Regular Army soldier in the Civil War might have marked his gear with his company and pride in being a Regular.

Condition Notes: Horn body shows age-appropriate surface wear and patina with fine crazing throughout. Original wooden plug intact with "US" marking. Leather strap displays expected drying and aging. Small crack near mouthpiece opening. Surface exhibits some minor scuffs and handling marks consistent with field use. No major structural damage.

Silver 1828 Capped Bust Half Dollar, showcasing the classic design by John Reich. This early American silver coin features Liberty facing left wearing a cap on the obverse, surrounded by thirteen stars representing the original colonies. The reverse displays a heraldic eagle with shield, holding arrows and an olive branch, with "50 C" denomination below.

This historically significant half dollar comes from a period when the young United States was establishing its currency system. The coin exhibits the square-edged lettering and reeded edge typical of the 1828 mintage. The Capped Bust Half Dollar series was produced from 1807 to 1839 and represents an important transition in American coinage design.

The coin displays authentic period circulation wear with an even gray patina developed over nearly two centuries. Details remain visible on Liberty's cap, hair curls, and facial features, as well as the eagle's feathers and shield on the reverse.

Condition Notes: Shows moderate to heavy wear consistent with circulation. Some surface marks and minor edge dings visible. Small spots of darker toning present. No major damage or alterations noted.

The reverse features an American eagle with shield, holding arrows and an olive branch, with "QUAR. DOL." denomination beneath.

This historic quarter was minted during a significant period in American history, just seven years before the Civil War and during the height of westward expansion. The Seated Liberty design, produced from 1838 to 1891, represents one of the longest-running coin designs in U.S. Mint history.

The coin displays the characteristic reeded edge and detailed strike of Philadelphia Mint quarters from this period. The rich patina developed over more than 165 years gives this coin its distinctive character and historical authenticity.

Condition Notes: Shows moderate to heavy circulation wear consistent with its age. Liberty's head and upper body details remain visible, though worn. Shield and drapery show expected wear.

Silver 1875 Seated Liberty Twenty-Cent Piece, a short-lived denomination in American coinage history. Designed by William Barber, this coin features the classic Seated Liberty motif on the obverse with thirteen stars surrounding Liberty seated on a rock, holding a liberty pole with cap. The reverse displays an eagle with outstretched wings holding arrows and an olive branch.

This scarce coin comes from the brief four-year mintage period (1875-1878) of this unusual denomination, which was discontinued due to public confusion with the quarter dollar. The Twenty-Cent Piece represents one of America's shortest-lived circulating coin denominations and was primarily produced at the Philadelphia and Carson City mints.

The coin exhibits a small hole near the top, indicating it was likely worn as jewelry or kept as a memento after its circulation life. This modification, while affecting its numismatic value for purist collectors, adds an interesting element of historical use and personal significance.

Condition Notes: Moderate to heavy circulation wear consistent with age and use. The hole at the top of the coin is the most significant modification. Details on Liberty figure and eagle remain visible though worn. Even gray patina throughout. Some edge wear and surface marks present. No evidence of cleaning or other alterations beyond the hole.
