Brass box with lighter
Description
The brass box contains everything necessary to start the fire. When the flint is violently struck against the steel, sparks are created which are caught by the tinder sponge. Careful blowing increases the embers to flame. The sulfur woods represent another, somewhat later form of fire generation.
