lady pipe tamper (front) |

| Description |
English: Incomplete cast copper alloy pipe tamper in the form of a lady tilting her head to her left and holding her arms behind her back with hands clasped. The figure is dressed in a full-length fitted dress that spirals around her legs into a complete swirl, and has her long hair tied up into a central top bun in a style that suggests that the tamper was made at the turn of the 19th to the 20th century, c.1890-1910. The figure is missing its base which would have been smaller in diameter and attached to the central rivet that still remains, and then been used to push or 'tamp' the tobacco down in a pipe.
Similarly dressed ladies with similar hairstyles can be seen on the internet that date from this time, and one in particular from a French fashion catalogue from Les Grands Magasins du Louvre, a Paris department store, that dates from c.1903-4. Bailey (1992) illustrates a pipe tamper in the form of a female figure with a full length fitted dress on page 63, No.26, which dates from the late 19th century. |
