Last night, I took a chance and won a powder horn at auction. I wasn’t able to examine the horn in person beforehand so could only go on the...
It does bear a certain resemblance… [IMG]
Today I crossed paths with this interesting item. I can’t decide if it’s a big spoon, a ladle, or maybe a canoe cup. Google Lens has been no help....
Ugly and strange sells!

This evening I resized an antique frame that someone was throwing out to fit this painting. It’s not perfect, but I’m happy and think the beat up...
Sure! Here’s the back. [IMG]
I think so, too!
