Description: | Copper alloy probable handle from a tobacco holder (box). See 'Finds Identified' by G. Bailey pages 62 & 63, figures 1 & 2. The smooth undecorated Post-medieval handle is 15.05mm tall. The top of the handle is formed of a flattened disc with a diameter of 13.07mm that then gently narrows to a shaft or pedestal of 5.88mm diameter before gently curving outwards again to form a base disc of 15.35mm diameter. The handle seems to have originally been souldered into place. Weight 7.97g. 17th to 18th century in date.Alternatively, but less likely the artefact could be a furniture draw handle or clothes peg. See Detector Finds 2 by Gordon Bailey 2001 Greenlight Publishing - page 18-21, item 30 (19th century - modern day draw handle), 32 (19th century draw handle), 55 (18th century clothes holder peg) or 60/61 (18th - 19th century draw handle) better size.
