All very thoughtful comments, thank you; maybe it belonged to William"Bill the Butcher," from the "Gangs of New York."

Can you read the writing or rub it? It could give a hint in wich direction we have to search.

Yes, it looks like "K.Rily 1818."

From the photos, I read the end of the inscription as July 1873, but couldn't make out what is written before "July"

Any ideas as to the type of horn?
I have seen ram's horn snuff mulls that are scotch in origin. Maybe the type of horn could give a clue.

I was sure that it said Rily, but it appears(after taking the suggestion of doing a rub,etc.), that it is K. July 6, 1818(?);last number could be an 8.
