- The tinkers are travelling people without house or home. The tinkers are alwayes very plentyful around towns and villages. Some tinkers carry baskets and they sell small articles such as candle stickes and small articles made of tin. The tinkers camp near my house very often.The tinkers trade very much on asses and horses. The tinkers are great people for telling stories. The tinkers have many prayers to say when they want to get anything. When the tinkers come to our house they tell us many stories.
