In olden times most of the tinkers travelled about from place to place; carrying a "budget" (which contained the things necessary for their trade) on their backs. They lived in rude tents or camps at fixed places in the country or near the towns, but could only stay in these places for a short time. Now most of the tinsmiths have given up travelling about and live in the towns or villages carrying on their trade.
They sell the tinware at the fairs and markets, and sometimes in the farmers' houses in the country. They are fewer now than in olden times. In Tubbercurry there is only one tinsmith, a man of the name of Skeffenton. It is a tradition in his family. The name "tinker" has fallen into disfavour; they prefer to be called tinsmiths.
