Hi Here a few photos of my Tinder Box I hope they are of some interest to Forum members. Does any one have an idea of the value for this type of Tinder box, I haven't seen any for sale Thanks

Hi I am new to this forum but wondered if you could give me a bit of advice regarding the Netsuke Tinder Lighter I inherited one of these tinder lighters from an uncle and after many years looking for an explanation of its practical use I stumbled across this forum with your post explaining the purpose of the tinder lighter. I have never seen one for sale and wondered if you could tell me an approxiamte value, my lighter looks exactly like the one you posted photos of, other than the ring on the base is missing and has been replaced with a simple brass screw, the fabric pouch is also missing. The mechanism works although the spring is obviously very worn and does not strike with any great force. I can post photos if that would help. Thanks
