Greetings all,
A cigar piercer in a sewing basket may not be that odd actually, as my
Grandmother always kept one of my Grandfather's unused cigars stored in with
her threads and tatting because she swore it kept bugs like silverfish away.
I have a container of her embroidery floss that contai
There are some in Germany smoking cigars.

Definitely a cigar piercer:

about a third of the way down. Click on the image to enlarge. The principle
is the same, but the piercing bit is just above the handles on this one and
it hasn't got "blades".

When I first started work the lab coats we wore had metal buttons like
that - theoretically so that they could be removed prior to the coats
going to the laundry, but no-one bothered to remove them and then put
them back on again.

Looking at the 'bowl' bit... there used to be buttons made from fabric
with a shank style hole at the back which were held in place with a
metal 'grip' , a bit like a small hair grip. I'ts likely that it was

It's a weird object - seems to be intended to make a hole through a rod of

I looked at the scissors which came up when I googled "cigar scissors"
at your suggestion. They have two distinct blades, and aren't quite the
same as these mystery scissors.
They don't look very big... the hole would accommodate a small strip of
ribbon or even leather... but why would you
It looks to me like a tool for punching a hole in a belt.

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

Morning Everyone,
When I looked at this tool (especially after looking at the 4th photo) I
wondered if it was used for holding shanked buttons in place for some
reason. I would assume that the cup? on the one side is there for a
purpose. However, as it is not adjustable the size of buttons woul

Hello Shirley
It looks to me to be a tool for punching holes instead of using a
stilleto. Does the little prong pierce fabric (or paper) when the
'blades' are closed together.
I have a tool which looks more like a pair of pliars but works on the
same principle as an office hole punch.
