Reconstruction of a fire striker to be paired with a box with original tinder cord
The fire striker, for which there are no “direct” sources or measurements, was made using 19th-century models as examples, and completes a small box with original tinder cord. Some 19th-century tinder-cord fire strikers incorporate a small container for holding tinder, matches or the fire striker itself. In this case it was assumed that the little box could hold a small fire striker used to light the cord.
To study the measurements as accurately as possible, a 3D reconstruction of the fire striker was made, then rendered and digitally placed inside the original box (of which I had a photo with measurements), to see what the final result would look like before going on to make it.
