Mr. Wishwon, I live in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Where are you from? SLAG.

Keeping the forge smoke down, can be done by switching from the usual bituminous smithing coal to anthracite coal, or metallurgical coke. A lot of smiths use coke, for forging, in the calgary area. (so ask them about the fine points). The suggested forge fuels require almost constant forced air. And the firebox, ideally, should be thicker walled than the standard ones. Good luck, Regards to all, SLAG.

Glenn & Possum, I do not for certain what the function of the tool is. (it does look like a leather crafter or saddlers tool.) But there is a very good group at the Smithsonian Institution whose job is to identify tools' functions. Check their website for the correct address, and send them a querry together with your picture. They are good folks, they know their stuff, and will get back to you. Regards to All, SLAG.
