This graceful silver plated dolphin looks like a paperweight, but does excellent work by cracking your beers open. It has two ways to work, unscrewing the cap underneath or prying it off with the tail.

The sticker on the tail says, "International Silver Company. Silver plated. Made in China." Besides the graceful arched body, the dolphin has little eyes and nostrils.

Vintage Hunter's Brown POWDER HORN Primitive Hand-Made!

Vintage Hunter's Brown POWDER HORN Primitive Hand-Made! - eBay (item 310073888624 end time Aug-13-08 17:55:56 PDT)

This vintage powder horn is made of an actual horn with the wide end plugged with a wood block with a screw for the strap. The pour spout end has a carved groove for the strap.

The stopper and strap are missing. A cork and some leather lacing would work great. I think a hunter wore it on his right hip, judging from the worn finish on the one side.
