26-018 Hound Form Hand-Wrought Iron Flint Striker

Price: $875

Sold by Phillips and Durkin Antiques

26-018. A Hound form, hand-wrought iron flint striker, for igniting tinder. The Hound form was hand forge-welded to the striker blade. The posture of the Hound is creative (comical?) and not typical of others of this type that I have owned or seen. It dates from the late-18th to early-19th century, and probably from Pennsylvania where it was found. The striker measures approximately 2 3/4" high x 6 3/8" wide and is in very good original condition.
