Antique Hand-forged Flint Striker With Beautiful Curve and Curl metal house The beauty of this isThis struck me an especially lovely old forged iron flint striker, used for starting a fire. I am not certain exact age, but it certainly looks and feels quite old to me. Beautiful form, great surface, satisfying in the hand. I might be inclined to wear this as a pendant around my neck when wanting needing to feel powerful! 3 1 4" x 1 1 4". Surface wear and aging as evident, very much to the good I think.
