I'm an avid collector of old cigar boxes. In one of them I recently found a bunch of decades old cigars as well as the object below. I've tried to search via Google Images but couldn't find anything. Do you have a clue on what this is?
Many thanks! Cheers, Luc. |

Sorry couldn't resist it. What brand cigar, place of origin ? John |

It looks like an old pipe cleaner/tamper.

Looks like it was forged by a blacksmith. The twist and square bar look would be an indicator, so must be pretty old.

Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.

I used to make guitars out of cigar boxes

I believe it is a cigar box opener. Breaking the seal with the pointed end and prying the nail. And then when closing you use the hammer end.
Here’s a short link describing the more common type and a photo. https://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories......-openers |
