Shirley,
Eureka -- googled "special scissors" and found cigar scissors -- aha,
that rings a bell! So I refined the search and found out that some
folks apparently pierce their cigar rather than clipping it.
Now why in the world was this cigar piercer in a needlework box? Did
the needleworker smoke? Or maybe she hid it from her husband in a
place he'd never look?

Afternoon Everyone,
I'm wondering if someone can help me please. I've posted some
pics on the Arachne webshots page (thanks Liz L for your help)
under my name (Shirley T.) and if you are inclined please would you
take a peek. I'm trying to find out what this tool is called/used
for. It was found in a lady's needlework box from a deceased estate.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Even the staff at
'Collectors' - our Australian antique programme - can't seem to
identify it but I know someone out there understands its use.
Cheers,
Shirley T. - in sunny Adelaide but the ground is still wet from
the soaking its had these last few weeks.
