The woman in the photo brings a utensil for repair, highlighting the itinerant nature of their trade as they travel from place to place offering their services. The tinker's leather tool bag not only holds his tools but also doubles as bellows, creating the necessary draught for their little forge. The ingenuity and resourcefulness displayed by these craftsmen is truly remarkable.
