Maybe an old handcuff key.. The bell was cool would have been better if not so damaged. I thought the may was way cool. Don't know what he went too. Any Ideas? Thanks for lookin.

Default Pretty Cool!

The man figure is a really cool pipe tamper used for packing tobacco in a pipe. It looks like it's probably colonial era.

Now that is super cool.....and I mean super cool.

Here's an eBay example by it's new:

It really is nice!

Very cool finds. The tamper is really neat. Were these found at a home site or in different location? Just curious.

Found in a park. I think used to be a house there at one time.
