<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MariaT, post: 1606984, member: 13901&quot;]I appreciate the research into similar figures.&nbsp; I recall my grandmother-in-law telling me in the early 1970&#039;s she recalled the thin strips of wood in the spills being used to start a fire from embers. And that these figures were on the mantle when she was growing up in late 19th early 20th century.&nbsp; I just don&#039;t know if the spills were her mother&#039;s or her grandmother&#039;s.&nbsp; Late 19th century sounds like a good fit for belonging to either one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
