Perhaps what y'all call a 'Torch" ?
Early flashlight made by burning and the shaped end
is the handle for the torch

Looks like it's for reloading brass shells. Or holds a chamber brush.


Out there doing it best I can.

It's a hand held torch/flair to get you off the foggy moors in the dark.

As far as who made it, I'll guess W & C Scott.

A fire starter used for starting controlled burns of the heather on the morelands.

No idea who made or retailed it.

If it is a Tampion wouldn't there be a string attached somewhere.

My humble vote is, it is a wad knocker. For clearing the barrel of a shotgun when an obstruction [wad?] remains after firing the gun.
