Original U.S. Revolutionary War Metal Lined Horn Drinking Beaker Engraved to Capt. John Mott, 3rd N.J. Regiment 1776 Martini-Henry Rifles the dawn of the breach-loadingOriginal item: One of a Kind. Found at a New Jersey Garage Sale !!! and purchased for a song! Unfortunately NOT by us but nevertheless, what a find! This is a very nice 18th Century Horn Beaker drinking vessel, standing just 5" tall and 3" across the drinking rim. The beaker is lined with metal, which appears to be silver, or possibly silver plated brass, with a very pleasing silver top edge around the rim. It looks somewhat like a portion of Cow Horn
