    Hi everyone, I did not see forum for "TUSKS" so I thought I would give it a shot here. This is about 16" long. Very heavy for size, smooth to the touch. Looks like some kind of horn or something, it has what looks like a mouthpiece on one end, see pics. Makes a very loud bass like sound when blown into. What is this? Is this a horn ? Thanks in advance. IMG_4927.JPG IMG_4928.JPG IMG_4930.JPG IMG_4931.JPG

    Horn, not tusk.

    Wait for others to tell you what it was used for. I don't know.

    Texas Longhorn, perhaps? (And this one's 'just a girl'.)
