Type of Object:
    Forger's Tool

    This is a very large old forger's tool. Used by
    metallurgists, and passed down from generation to
    generation.  Metallurgy is a revered profession, on a
    parallel with Divination, due to its connection with the
    unexplained.

    This forgers tool  has very attractive form, and an
    oxidised iron patina.  The colour is red and mottled,
    with pitted surface.
