Fire-steel (length 4 1/4 ins) combined with ember-tongs and small knife-blade; similar to and probably by same maker as foregoing [no. 443], but more elegantly cut and engraved. [NB: one of thirty-three specimens (nos. 424-456), all Spanish, but combined with some other article or articles of frequent personal use (generally with ember-tongs, but often with knife-blade, cork-screw, pipe-prick, screw-driver, hammer, or other). Many possess considerable artistic merit]
