Ironmongery for comment
I found this small group of iron objects in England, earlier in the year and bought it mainly for the Athabascan dagger which I like. The dagger hilt is wrapped with cord over wood, which is probably a replacement ? The cord has the remains of a black substance, that could be the tar or resin used by sailors for ropes, rigging etc. I wonder if perhaps the dagger at least was owned by a seaman, perhaps from a whaler ?
The two blacksmith's ? tools are also interesting, does anyone recognize them and what they were used for ?
Comments and possible I.D. are welcome.
I am also posting this on the miscellaneous forum.
