You’re welcome. The horn is quite significant because the wives of Knight band members allegedly blew on them to warn the men when Confederate soldiers were in the area. I can’t think of any other imagery that has been used regularly.

Thanks so much for the quick response. As an artist from that area, I was just curious to know the origins and if the horn had any significants to the rebellion. You don’t happen to know of any other imagery that might have been used?

The bumper sticker was already rather old at the time, and I don’t know when they were first made up, or exactly who designed it.
