Title: tinder lighter
Post by: ntqlvr1948 on December 13, 2024, 12:05:44 AM

Not an accoutrement but a nice little flintlock tinder lighter before they had matches. Nicest one I ever saw. Made by Hollis. early 1800's or before. Just another nice piece to look at.

I agree they are a cool item and pleasing to look at. I bought a repro 35+ yrs ago and tuned it up and it does work.
