Howdy All, Check out this conch shell horn and shell bracelet. Twenty three years ago, my mom had a stroke and we were in a mad rush from Virginia to Michigan. At Riply, West Virginia, I needed a break so we stopped to walk around a flea market. This horn was sitting on a table full of junk. I grabbed it, asked how much and paid him the 1$ that he asked. THEN, I asked the seller if he had any Indian Relics. He said no but that they had been at an auction the week before that had several cases of relics that sold for big money. Then I asked him where the horn came from and he said that he bought it in a junk box lot at that auction. After I cleaned the dirt out, it sounds great. I think that the two small holes were for a strap. The shell bracelet came from a friend in southern Ohio several years ago. I hope that I am not posting too much stuff. There are boxes and boxes of relics here to show off if ya'll want to see them.
