    Hello. I have what I believe is a "primitive" tinder box, however I have found very few like mine online. Those I have found give very little information regarding origin and time frame.

    The box is one piece of wood carved into the box. The hinges for the lid are wood also. The chain and metal pieces do not look modern. It weighs 5lbs 1oz. It is 9 inches wide across the bottom and 7 inches in height.

    I would greatly appreciate any information. Thanks so much.
