Powder Horn, 4 1/8" long. Brass rotating top exposes small poring aperture. Loading bottom made from bone has a brass plate with light script reading "L McLea?"  Interior of the bottom has what appears to be a thick piece of cork. This has dried out making the plate loose when inserted. I believe once it is moistened it should expand and seal the bottom.
