Beschreibung:

No doubt hand-operated originally and used in smithies across the county: often described as a ‘pair’. They are commonly listed in wills and inventories: 1402 <i>unum par de melioribus bellows</i>, York (SS4/250); 1553 <i>a paire bellows, a Stythie, hamers and tonges</i>, Sheffield (TWH16/82). The spellings could vary: 1543 <i>twho paire of bellyces</i>, Ripley (SS26/43); 1558 <i>a payre of ballys of vs price</i>, Darnall (TWH16/116). In 1698 Joseph Brammall, filesmith, had <i>three pairs of bellows and their furniture, £7.10s.0d,</i> and in 1734 John Fearnally, trumpmaker, had <i>One Double Belley </i>(IH). They were traditionally made of leather: 1509 <i>Pro ij hides to the smyth bellows and for dightynge of thame, 8s, </i>York (SS35/95). In 1724 <i>Bullhides and Cowhides</i> were purchased for the <i>new finery Bellows</i> at Colnebridge (SpSt).
