Cool Grips

[pahoghunter]

I just purchased these at an auction along with several other sets. I think they are plastic? They fit my old model 17, any one have any idea who might have made these? thanks BOB

Greetings,

One way to find out if the grips are made of plastic is to heat a pin or end of a paper clip to red hot, and hold them to the grips in an obscure place (inside the grips). If they're plastic you'll be able to smell this as the pin/wire pierces the grips. If they are ivory or bone you'll smell burning hair.

Regards,

Dave

Horn

I believe the look is suppose to be a horn I've seen powder horns that look similar? I'll give the heated pin thing a try.

If I'm not mistaken those appear to be made from the tusk of the giant pig bear that use to roam the back alleys of northern Indiana. I saw one in a carnival show. It would rush on to stage when the trainer would yell, "Show mommy how the little piggies eat!"

Years later, I heard that the last one had been caught in crossfire on Cleveland Street during a shootout between the notorius Black Bart, Scott Fargus and his little toadie with green teeth.

Now that's a story I can sink my teeth into.
