Chuckmuck of curious form (possibly that from which the contrivance developed originally); consists of two parts; one part a heavy roughly-wrought steel (length 3 1/8 ins), on a leather hand-hold, heavily bound in iron, with a broad brass mount, and an iron ring on top; the other part, a small rectangular bag (length 2 3/8 ins), of untanned sheep-skin, held closed by a leather thong, with a leather loop on top, and containing flint (a small fragment of white quartz) and some tinder (? some kind of plant-down); the two parts held together by a cord formed of strips of some woven cotton fabric roughly twisted.
