finally decided to put in my lousy .02 worth this thread. Yrs back had neighbor who was purty good carpenter. Made me couple dowels out of a more or less standard length when new. Have 4 at 1/2" wide, for my magnums, 3 at 3/4" wide. All 3" long, all made via hacksaw. Still have 'em all + couple "nails" here/ there. How many yrs ago? I know around '62, anybody's guess which century. Yeah, did see pics of that fella who made really nice tamps. first name I think is "Art". Hawaii looking last name. have several round tip Sheffield pipe knives to get rid of any dottle & scape the sides if/when decide to. Ed Duncan, Batavia, NY olde age jokes r me! Sounds like a complete set. Tampers haven't really caught my interest much, thankfully. I've got 3 or 4 of them lying around, none of them very fancy or unique. Handful of Czech tools. In general, I just use the ones on my lighters. Not the most ergonomic in use, but it makes for one less thing to keep up with. |

There's an 1890s saloon match holder here by the computer; it holds 4 metal golf-T tampers, 1 aluminum pipe nail, 3 Chech tools, and nail-clippers. I reach for the simple pipe nail the most.
The sunglass holder in my pick-up also holds a pipe nail. Fancy tampers, and pocketknives are scattered throughout the house, in pipe boxes and tobacco jars.
