Can anyone tell me what this drinking glass is? In the flesh, it's a striking fluorescent green colour that the photos don't really do justice to....
Okay, thanks to all who replied. I’ll continue researching these and, if I’m successful in identifying what exactly they are, I’ll post that...
Very close! So, maybe Scottish, then.
Thanks for your reply, Buyingtime777. I’m glad that somebody else thinks these may have a Native American connection. The amber finials reinforce...
Could be! These usually look different, though, with cylindrical heads. I also wondered if they might be native American Indian drum beaters...
I have this old pair of drum sticks / beaters but I haven't been able to find other similar examples, and really have no idea what exactly they...

Thanks to all who have replied. I appreciate you sharing your thoughts! Ownedbybear, I’d wondered about the three tiny marks below what I think...

Thanks, Hollyblue. Yes, it does look like rhino horn, but I expect this spoon is probably made of something much more mundane, like cow horn.
Hi, everybody: I have this horn spoon, approximately 7-7/8" long, that I presume is Scottish in origin. As you'll see in the attached photos, it...
Thanks for your reply, Tauriels, and congrats to your 12 yo. I think I'm going to hang on to this for awhile, though, now that I know what it is!
Ah, now I see! Yes, I think you’re completely correct - a black powder measure it is. Thank you, Hollyblue and Quirkygirl!
Were there such small powder horns, only 2 1/2 inches long?
Hi, This pendant appears to be quite old, judging by its patina, and may even be Native American in origin. It's an interesting object to me but,...
