By service life
Lifetime
Cast iron and forged steel. Nothing in this band has a consumable part. Kept dry and re-seasoned when it asks for it, these outlive the house they were bought for.
Everything here publishes the part that wears out first and whether we stock it. The figure is an estimate of household service life, not a warranty — how the mark works.

Counted from the catalog, not written down here. A published figure is an estimate of household service life and never a term of cover.

Brass Match Safe
Unlacquered brass, sized for long matches
Wears first — The striker strip on the base, which is a consumable and is replaceable.

Hearth Kettle
2 litre, enamelled interior, hanging bail
Wears first — Nothing that fails. The exterior enamel can chip if it is dropped on stone.

Hearth Pot
5.5 quart enamelled cast iron, lidded
Wears first — Nothing that fails. The lid knob is the only fastened part.

Cast Trivet
Seasoned cast iron, three-footed
Wears first — Nothing. This is a single casting with no parts.

Cast Fire Back
Freestanding, 20 × 16 inches, plain field
Wears first — Nothing. A fire back is one casting and its whole job is to be the thing that takes the heat.

Riven Slate Board
Welsh slate, 16 × 12 inches, felted base
Wears first — The felt on the underside, which compresses and can be re-felted.
