I'm looking for an old-timey tinderbox, the kind people used to carry 200 years ago for lighting campfires and tobacco. Anyone know where I can find one?

Rendevous season is approaching, if any of them are held in your area, there will probably be balcksmiths there who can make strikers for you, there will be plenty of flint for sale as well s tinderboxes.

Not yet, but I believe I'll find a couple over near Jimmy Hoffa...
