And here I couldn't figure out why we'uns blacksmiths would be
interested in a 25 year old bumper sticker for a rock opera! [1]

I have one of these things, very plain, no little anvil, no cross, no
piercing.  Never heard it called a tommy sticker, but then I don't
live in the mining part of Nova Scotia.  Even the plain one is a very
nice piece of work, forged in one piece, bent around to form the loop
handle and very tidily brazed.  It does have a small amount of filed
ornament -- or maybe it's the maker's or owner's mark.

[1] Yes, I saw Tommy.  My father-in-law and I took my kids.  He was the
oldest person the the theater.  I was 2nd oldest.  The next oldest was
a young teenager.  Talk about "visible minority"...
