[robfinds]

Had this a while back, think it's a pipe tamper/cleaner. Do any pipe smokers out there know ?.

I would say yes its the right size -- they vary a bit in size and shape by the owners whim --like I said before giving up the foul habit --I was a pipe smoker from 13 to 45 years of age --so thats what 32 years --I've seen many differant kinds of pipes and smolkng items to go with them -- from long stemmed clay church warden pipes to german student pipes to wooden modern brair bowls --to mercheem pipes from turkey --- traveling all over as I did I saw many differant types and styles from many differant cultures as well.

pipe tamper is it then, i'll store it away correctly now

Not so fast Cru the plot thickens !. Just had an email from Paul Murawski of valued history. He's the guy that wrote "Benet's Artifacts of England & the United Kingdom current values. He thinks it may be a Roman tile cutter. He gave me an ebay item number to look at 120417400992 it certainly looks the same.

try Nigel Mills, he's better. Paul has lots of error in the book (I know the guy who found most of the stuff pictured)

Don't get me wrong, I would love it to be a rare Roman tile cutter, but in all honesty I don't think it is. It just does not look Roman to me, why because of it's colour. Simply put it's not green enough, even badly corroded Roman finds tend to have a green tint. The patina of this find says to me 17th/18th Century. On the plus side it's provided some lively debate, what an hobby we have, lets all enjoy it !!.

It could be that this item is a Roman tile cutter, but it sure does not look like the object in question here. The tile cutter (if it is that at all, but I don't know, never seen one) is made of flat material, the size is NOT given on the ebay item, and although the top looks like the object here (only one side broken off) the end does not. It appears to be square, a pipe stamper is always round (never seen a square pipe, it would also be hard to clean). The biggest thing that makes me doubt that they are the same is that for the Roman tile cutter no size is mentioned. It surely is larger than the object in this post, I would imagine to cut tiles, even in soft clay, it would have to be larger than a pipe tool for sure.
