Manufacturer: handcrafted American antique
As honest as can be with a color and grain that is unduplicated except by period use and handling with 235 years of natural age patina, this beautifully decorated and identified powder horn, offers both beauty and history in one piece. Measuring approximately 3 ¾ inches across the widest point of the butt, this wonderfully shaped and decorated 1774 dated early American powder horn boasts the boldly lettered identification of its’ period owner along its’ 19 inch length. (The horn measures approximately 15 inches straight across from butt to tip.) Having the advantage of the knowledge that the piece emanated from a Connecticut estate, our search for EZRA TAYLOR quickly offered National Archives documentation of his service in Capt. Nobel Benedict’s Co., Bradley's Regiment, 5th Connecticut Foot, Genl. Wadsworth’s Division, Genl. Washington's Continental Army. (see: NARA - Compiled Service Records of Soldiers Who Served in the American Army During the Revolutionary War)
Authorized, September 16, 1776 the 5th Connecticut Regiment worked its’ way through the myriad of assignments all too indicative of a newly formed army.

Among the first long term Continental Army RegularsCol. Bradley’s 5th Conn. wintered with Washington at Valley Forge and was gallantly engaged against the British in many of the War’s most renowned embattlements.
