8.25" long. I think this is a ribbon puller (to pull a drawstring through a tight place, like a waistband). I could be wrong. Looks to be a steel core with laters of brass and a pewter-like white metal sandwiched together with copper rivets to make a handle. The handle is stamped with FANTASTIC motifs - a pointing finger, ferns, diamonds, starbursts, arrows, whale tails(?) and the best: a hammer. The initials S. M. C and the year 1892 are hand-stamped, too. FABULOUSSSSSS
