In the developing world countries we found out what the swine is used for-and we're not big fans of the swine either.
Please....no.....stop!
Brown sugar glazed ham, Bacon, sausage, pulled pork samich.....ummmmmmm.
we had an old powder horn like the one on the bottom of the pic of the lower left. I remember my mom saying it came down from her side of the family and she said it was in her house as long as she could remember. I asked her years ago if she still had it and she didn't know. I went through what boxes she had, but could never find it. Back in 1993 Des Moines Iowa where she lived had a big flood and her basement got flooded and soaked boxes in storage. She said a lot of stuff was just tossed away from all the water damage and that's most likely what happened to it as it was in one of the water soaked boxes. It was old and I remember I'd play like I was Daniel Boone on the popular show played by Fess Parker and his side kick Mingo, played by Ed Ames with that thing. It had a fancy lid I think was sterling silver now on it, because I do remember hallmarks on the lid. It's probably buried in a large landfill now.
