Way back in 1881, a man named Albert Friedrich opened Albert’s Buckhorn Saloon on Dolorosa Street in downtown San Antonio, Texas. An enterprising entrepreneur, Friedrich opened the saloon with the offer: “Bring in your deer antlers and you can trade them for a shot of whiskey or a beer.” And so, the world’s most unique collection of horns and antlers began. Albert’s father, Wenzel, soon joined in on the act, making handmade horn furniture fro the saloon. In no time at all, cowboys and hunters began to bring in horns and trophy mounts from all kinds of animals.
