    Does anyone know what this little tool might be. It must be for pounding something very particular, and note the notch in the top of the flat (tableknife-like) surface. Thanks in advance for any ideas!

      A cigar box knife?

      The notch slips over the pin when prizing the cigar box open to stop it slipping into the box and damaging the cigars. The little hammer is for hitting the pin back in to reseal the box.

      Thanks to both of you! That's very helpful and so interesting. I've looked online now at cigar box openers and see variations on this.
