Flint Wallet

[jon math]

I've wondered if these existed in the 1700's. I usually just wrap a flint or two in a strip of patching material and toss it in my bag, but I had some left over leather so I figured what the heck. I made the little screwdriver years ago from a broken modern one. Not traditional but it fits the tiny screws on my Thompson Center's modern iron sights.

I'm sure all kinds of things like these existed, and have been lost to the sands of time. Looks good, I like it.

I have a friend on Facebook that knows the era and I will check with him. He loves all the little details of life back then.

Other than the modern grommet, the answer is yes they existed, there are museum pieces dated to then and remarks of them on journals.
