jan 1, 1689 - double bellows
Description:
This was not the equivalent of a ‘pair of bellows’ so it possibly meant double sized. The examples were quite late and occurred in Sheffield wills and inventories, e.g. Francis Brownell: 1689 <i>1 paire of dubble bellows</i>; John Fearnally 1732 <i>One double Belley</i>(HI). See bellows.
