[One of] Three Tinder-holders (lengths 2 1/4 to 1 3/4 ins) of thin sheet brass; all similar and evidently by the same maker[nos 793 to 795]; rectangular, with steel affixed to back; a design, cast in very high relief, brazed on to lid of each - a hound's head, a sportsman in the act of shooting, and a goddess leading a steed, respectively; one contains a rough flint flake. ? France. [One of 15 exhibits (nos. 790-804, except for no. 797 not on list A and is recorded as not received on the annotated Bryant and May catalogue), all very similar in every way to the foregoing and serving the same purpose; but intended for use with match-cord tinder, not amadou. Each has in one side an aperture through which the tail of the cord projected, the charred end being protected inside the box, where also the flint is kept. Most are French.]
