A chuckmuck is a belt-hung leather and metal decorated tinder pouch with an attached thin long striking plate, found across North Asia and China to Japan from at least the 17th Century onward. Chuckmucks form a well-marked group within flint-and-steel types of fire-lighting kit, still used as jewelry by Tibetans (mechag) and Mongolians (kete) to this day. This large distinctive style of a worldwide daily utensil was first noted by Western explorers in Victorian British India, and the 1880s Anglo-Indian word chuckmuck (derived from chakmak, another word for the item in Nepal) was adopted into specialist English by the early 20th Century.
Condition
Commensurate with age.
