The Masters
Three:
The Probable Possibles of Nicholas Hawk
So, you’ve purchased several raffle
tickets to win a handcrafted,
custom-made reproduction longrifle by master gunsmith,
Wayne Watson. Now you need equally fine accoutrements. This
spring, contemporary blackpowder master craftsmen Roland Cadle,
Art DeCamp, and Mark Wheland—”The Masters Three”—have
generously donated accoutrements specifically custom-made for another
raffle to benefit the reconstruction of the Nicholas Hawk Gun Shop
at Boulton. For just $10, you can purchase a chance to win the accoutrements
that 18th-century master gunsmith, Nicholas Hawk, himself might
have carried. These “probable possibles”include:
Screw-tip banded Allentown Powder Horn, mounted
with a sterling silver Nicholas Hawk hunter’s star, and decorated
with the ferrous oxide in the Allentown horn tradition.
Rifleman’s Hunting Bag, with sterling
silver, brass and copper
mountings and featuring Allentown Indian motif.
Lathe-turned Bullet Bag, Bag Axe, Bullet
Mold and Loading Block with the Allentown Indian motif.
Folding Fork and hand-forged Hunting Knife
mounted with engraved horn handles and a powder measure.
The estimated value of these accoutrements is
over $3500. For information about how to obtain raffle tickets for
either the Probable Possibles of Nicholas Hawk ($10 per chance)
or the Andrew Verner longrifle reproduction by Wayne Watson ($20
per chance), call the JHS office at 610-759-9029 or email jacobsburg@rcn.net.
