This is a GREAT Long Island, New York carved Militia horn. The top of the horn is fashioned out of tin and threaded to screw on to a pouring spout that is also made of tin and attached to the horn with wood pegs. The tip serves as a funnel and powder measure to load a charge. The top carving shows two rows of houses and churches and the name NEWTON which is the town of Newtown. There is a verse carved around the horn that reads "My powder makes Lobstars flee." The cartouche reads, "Capt. Abraham Remsen Newton Long Island Militia Jun 1776." The records show that a Captain Abraham Remsen served in the LI militia under Col. Josiah Smith and in July he is listed as Major Remsen. He is also mentioned in the Diary of Josiah Smith in several sections. Remsen fought at the battle of Long Island and was a refugee to Connecticut. following. There is a lot of information on him in the New York in the Revolution book and in the book, Refugees of Long Island. These men all signed a document supporting the revolution and Abraham Remsen was one of them. Newtown is now part of Brooklyn NY and Remsen Blvd. is named after him. On the reverse of the horn are two full masted ships in a harbor, probably NY harbor. 14" length. Horn came from Daniel B. Stefano, to Bob Kuck, to me.
