A horn engraved with the map of Albany American, probably 20th century

inscribed with the title 'A Map of the County Albany don to a scale eight mile to an inch' and bearing the date '1750'

Very good condition. There is much dispute as to whether this is 18th Century or not. Light chipping around the rims and some wear to the engraved decoration.
