- Bow
Fire-steel (length 4 1/2 ins), combined with hammer, pipe-prick (hinged to handle of hammer), and screw-driver; steel pierced, slightly engraved on one side, roughened like a rasp on other side; ? 17th century. [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]
