Cow Horn Pane for Lantern or Hornbook

We have been searching for years for a translucent horn pane to use in lanterns and horn books. We've found it! These panes are just under 3" wide and about 4-3/8" tall and a little over a 1/16 of an inch thick. They fit our FL-3 Barn lanterns perfectly. Each one is a little different and some may have some white or brown streaks on the pane but they are mostly clear horn.

If you would like the clearest panes, please select the "sorted for clearness" option. These panes will still have flaws but will be the clearest we have available.

When used in lanterns they are light weight and virtually unbreakable. Sold individually. Imported from India.

Tooting your horn :)

When I was unable to find an online vendor for a hornbook, I decided to make one. This horn pane was perfect! I bought a second pane so guests at my presentations could directly handle it. They are impressed to learn about "the plastic of the 18th century." Plus, Brandon's videos on YouTube are wonderful!

Really too small

I saw the picture above and thought what a great idea to add to the power of a candle.

Either deployed like in this picture or maybe to augment the folding box lantern.

The problem it the thing is so short that t use them like that the candle, even in a holder that puts the candle's base on the ground has to really burn down quite a bit to the point of almost being a stub. So I don't really get much use out of it.
