Cureton Powder Horns For over thirty years Cureton Horns have been the prefered traditional style horn. Earl Cureton of Bull's Gap, Tennessee started the business and now we are please to be able to offer these horns to you. Each horn is individually selected for shape and size. The maple base plug is lathe turned with an acorn finial and surrounded with solid brass cutler's nails. The stopper is turned with a taper to insure a proper fit. The horns are stained to give that old dark authentic look of original powder horns. The standard grade powder horn has a plain rounded tip with just a strap groove cut in it. All horns come complete with a 58" narrow leather lace carrying strap. The horns are measured along the outside curve from the tip back to (but not including) the base plug.
