A fine "ring" type Brass Pipe Tamper, some of the earlier type of "ring" pipe tampers were designed to be worn on the finger as a ring... it was convenient and effective, leaving the tamper readily available within the palm of the hand, with both hands available for the pipe.... it has gained a lovely mellow colour and is an excellent early example of this type.
