•Restored• Late 19th Century Natural ANTLER SILVER & STEEL Custom Pipe Tamper

Description: Those of us in the Pipe Culture know that relaxation with that favorite pipe and tobacco. While a finger or a simple ‘Czech Tool’ serves as an adequate pipe tamper, having fine things that surround our pipe routines make that treasured time even more special. As a humble pipe restorer, I also make pipe tampers that combine my passion for pipes and jeweler’s skills to make tampers that are visually and tactically attractive. I usually salvage certain vintage wares and materials to hand craft my custom tampers. Each is quite unique. While my hours of filing, sanding and polishing on each piece will never be reimbursed, the vintage materials I collect come at some expense. My goal is to make finer tampers for those that appreciate finer pipes and accessories. Previously, I only made these tampers for friends and commissioned clients, though I have been encouraged to offer some of my work along with my pipe restorations. I put much effort into accurate descriptions, history and photos to assist you in selecting exactly what you will be receiving. I appreciate you looking and it is my hope that you will enjoy your tamper as much as I did in crafting it. Unfortunately, you do not receive my custom Jeff Lynne Zippo from my photography. That is just for size comparison and he is “me favorite Brummie!” This is a latter half of the 19th Century original antler, silver and steel custom handmade tamper. Made with all original materials from a salvaged tool dating back to the later 1800s. All original materials, the handle is antler that has been fully restored and preserved. The base ring is silver, though not stamped, it tested sterling. The base and top cap are original period steel. This is heavier in the hand weighing 1.7 oz (47 gm). A true one-of-kind, this will earn bragging rights at deer camp! Rustic and rugged in look,this is a handsome, fully functional and solid pipe tamper with ~140 year history and a durability to last hundreds of more years to come. A backwoods look with a touch of class. Please feel free to connect with me for questions prior to your purchase. If there are particular measurements you seek, inquiries or are just interested in the pipe or my process, please contact me. Your 100% satisfaction is more important than any sale for me.

I will ALWAYS combine shipping & refund you the difference for multiple purchases at the same time. Returns are readily accepted if you don’t enjoy what you receive, but I do ask ONLY in new & unsmoked condition. You WILL want to keep the pipes I send, as transparent photos & descriptions matter. •••I also appraise pipes, collections, estate pipes and will make honest offers to buy pipes or collections offered for sale.
