I agree KC. You can tell it's shaped like a hammer.

All three of these items were bought together. The ends on the anchor looking end of the tool have some wear like they have struck something. The other end has a weird shaped blade on it though. I don't really want to scrub on it at all but my Dad tells me he thinks the circles have a gold inlay in them. It has brass bands going around it in two spots. The other "pick" looking item has some wear on the tip. I'd be willing to believe the story on it being a tamper.  But not 100% positive. The anchor shaped tool is really hard to place. Thanks for everything so far! This forum is great!

Way too big for an earring and made wrong !!

Oh!!...i don,t know....i,ve seen some whoppers in my time....but if they,re not,then whats that clasp for..if its not for clamping yer lug.... ;D

Most likely went on a lanyard or something similar !!
Those bands look like copper on the anchor shaped thing !! Isn`t it made of brass ?? Copper bands would be a decorative addition !!  Where is Rauville with his big book ??
