On the Manufacture of Gun-Flints, the Methods of Excavating for Flint, the Age
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the process and technological significance of gunflint production at Brandon, Suffolk. The author, writing in the 1870s, traces the craft from its 16th century origins to its decline with the introduction of percussion caps. A fascinating and innovative look at an important industry of its time, this book demonstrates how gunflint production was a direct descendant of the Neolithic age and that some of the curious smaller bored celts answer in every point to ax-hammers. The author's detailed descriptions of hammers, blocks, stages and candlesticks will be of interest to those with an interest in old crafts and how they developed. This well-structured book is a fantastic resource for anyone looking to learn more about 19th century gunflint manufacture and its origins. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781333534677_0
