Lot 1: Fox Squirrel Bag and Horn Set by Ken Scott and Ron Vail

For this year’s CLF Fundraising Auction, artists Ken Scott and Ron Vail have teamed up to create a unique southern style  hunter’s rig that combines original thinking with homespun ingenuity. The artists have affectionately christened their donation the “Focks Sqeerl” set.

Scott created the sturdy leather bag. It sports a deep brown patina and has the look of a centuries-old original. The front flap of the bag features a down home touch: the hide of a fox squirrel. The bag is also affixed with a heavy leather strap that’s fully adjustable by means of a solid brass buckle.
Ron Vail contributed one of his finely crafted powder horns to this set. The horn is a robust, no frills piece that sports a richly aged patina. The surface of the horn sports an engraved squirrel and prominently features the words “Focks Squeerl.” The horn attaches directly to the bag with a set of horn straps.
