Another favorite form of mine are tinder boxes. This one is quite special in the fact that there are three tinder compartments. Usually there are two compartments. The largest compartment is the one where the sparks were struck. You can see how charred the base of that compartment is. The other two are for storage. This tinder is made of Pine wood, has an unusual handle on the damper lid. The Tinder box measures 12 1/2 x 5 1/4 x 2 1/4 inches. Pine wood covered with what appears to have the original black painted surface. Small square nails were used in the construction. A very early 19th. century piece of lighting accessory. Accessories come with the tinder. Price: sold
