About 10/15 years ago I came across this piece at an estate sale. "Love at first site!" had to have it. after doing some research I was able to learn that, to my surprise, this piece had been made in Japan in the 1940s. It uses a "D" Cell battery, and it still works. In fact, there is a small red bulb in the pipe bowl that lights up. I have never seen anything like it since finding it. I thought some of you might be interesting in seeing it. This is not small. It's about 9" tall x 5" wide and 7" deep.
