Also, it turns out the projections are a 'dbl pipe tamper'
(SPG Edit)
Those had me stumped for a while, but I got something to eat, thought about it some more, and decided to check eBay.
eBay is great for stuff like this, as is Googe Image Search (advanced version). Both give visual results, which are often much easier and faster to digest.
Anyway, I searched eBay for cigar tool, and this item was second on the hit list:
• Antique George Bancroft Clear Havana Cigars Hermance Havana Cigar Co, N. Y. Tool
According to the seller, the projections are "a double pipe tamper".
That sounds reasonable to me.
