Thanks for the insight I don't know that I would have guessed pipe tamper. That is a really cool find. Were you able to narrow done how old it is?

The one in the book doesn't have a pendulum hanging out of it's butt! Are you sure they're the same thing?

Just kidding you George, lol. Looks like a pretty cool book.

George, this is a new and exciting find! I don't recall ever seeing one here before. I'm nominating it for the banner. It's another example of why we should never, ever, discard something we can't initially identify.
