Knur and Spell: Equipment

Description

The spell of a knur and spell game, Langthwaite ( Arkengarthdale). The spell consists of a strong steel spring, often fixed to a piece of boarding (as pictured), which would be used to throw the knur high enough from the ground to be able to hit it with a striker. The object of the game was to hit the knur as far as possible. The spell pictured is home-made, and is mounted on a wooden board with a single leg in front. Mounted on Photo File card with LAVC/PHO/P1787and LAVC/PHO/P1789. With ms. notes and catalogue details in the hand of Werner Kissling. Card 1 in a series of 6. Originally held in Photo File: Games.
