| Description | This is a wrought iron fire tool rack made by Daniel Boone VI. It has leaf design on top and is part of the wrought iron fire tool set. Although made in the 1950s, this is typical of the work Boone was creating in the 1940s. Boone was a fifth generation blacksmith, trained by his father Kelse Boone of Burnsville, N.C. He taught industrial arts students at Lees-McRae College in Banner Elk, N.C. in the 1940s and also operated a forge with his brother Lawrence Boone, and later by himself, in Spruce Pine, N.C. |
