This is a miner's candle holder called a Sticking Tommy or Tommy stick. My great-great-grandfather William Eaton was a surveyor and miner who spent most of his life in Minnesota and Alaska. I have a lot of his tools now.
A Sticking Tommy was pretty much in every 19th Century miner's tool kit. About 10", with different hooks to mount or carry a candle. Today, they've become popular for hobby blacksmiths to make, but this one is a fairly finely crafted example.

Starting a new tradition, highlighting interesting old tools I own and use. No schedule, no order, just fun stuff.
This is a saddler's hammer, used for leatherwork in general. Some say it's an upholsterer's hammer due to the tack puller; I've never found this exact hammer in an Osborne catalog. Similar to the #55 with the puller added. Note the grooved head for pulling stitches tight.
