I have spent the weekend cleaning my office in between church, smokes, and a cold brew....my office has looked like the Tazmanian Devil's wrecking room, and I have company coming to visit....still have to cull the bookcases from a long needed purging.
Anyway, I ran across my mothballed B&M auction finds...no one was bidding, so I waited until the auctioneer put a $10 bid and got it...this was the same auction the chinrester came from...there are some briars too, but they are weber, medico, etc...a really nice 6mm filter Grabow Crown Duke with a blue spade billiard that will easily clean up not pictured.
A lot of what I believe is Cherrywood stems, as you can see in the pics, the ones with the flex tubing have deteriorated.
Good luck overheating this one, it is 3.5 inches deep and an inch across the top...the bowl alone is 160 grams..only Jaws from James Bond could clench it.
I believe that most of these originated in Switzerland, or Germany...one of them has a Swiss reference.
How uncouth! Judging by the nasty crud inside the bowls, I think I know the source of their Back-kye...yech!
So Spock wasn't a Gene Rodenberry invention!
These two white pieces are the bases of the straight stemmed porcelain bowls....I guess you load a few bowls, when the fingertips blister switch to a cool one...kind of like the Marines do when they are laying supressive fire?
This next pipe in pieces then assembled...as you notice, only two of the white beaded eyes are still in the sockets...gonna have the wife look around Hobby Lobby.
14 inch stem...it wasn't drilled, how did they do it?
The third face...I wonder what it was suppose to signify, or probably "just following the grain"... Btw... this pipe is really tight when the thumb is over the bowl.... tight fitting.
Not sure what kind of metal this might be...it is obviously tarnished, and would be a bear to polish... the patterns look like they came from the same hands, one is missing it's stem....
