Pete Hutton – Horn Maker

At the 2014 CLA show, Pete Hutton’s table was right in front of you as you walked down the hallway to the first room.  Pete’s table was loaded with screw tip horns. I was impressed with the quality.  One of the prettiest was a Bucks county screw tip.  I ended up buying it to carry with Allen Martin’s schimmel.

I talked with Pete about a web article featuring his horns. We decided to use additional photos that he would provide.  Below are photos I received from Pete.  There are three photos of each horn: The horn itself, the butt plug, and the tip.  First up is the Early Lancaster.

Next is the York County horn.

Next the Berks County photos.

Next the Early Phily horn.

Next a Southern horn

And the last photo Pete sent was a calfskin bag with a corded strap.  The horn is a later Lancaster.  Metal furniture is hand made.

Pete’s email is: powderhorn1@consolidated.net
