SOLD Early Hand-forged Iron Flint (Fire Striker) with Wonderful Form wooly hair I assume this was toI've had a few old hand forged iron flints over the years, but none as lovely and special as this, with the treatment of the iron very akin to that seen on 17th 18th century scrollwork fireplace tools, and I would guess this is that early. The flat of the bottom, which is the striker, is worn very smooth from use, as I've tried to document. Found it at a shop in the Hudson River Valley. Beautiful object. 3 1 16" x 1 3 16" x 1 4". Aging to the surface
