Any Ideas on This?

[KSmith1967]

I see four inquiries on different pipes, including this odd ball. Do you own them? What is your interest? Are you even a smoker?

Please introduce yourself in the Intro thread, and read the rules of the forum.


I searched everywhere and couldn't find anything even close to this. This pipe is 7" in length and the bowl is 2.5" high. Does anyone have any idea what this might be? Thanks in advance.

I can't imagine the amount of turbulence the smoke must go through before it reaches the end. Multiple holes drilled to make the airway? Then the excess is plugged back up.

Looks old. But...unsmokeable to my eyes.

This looks like a basement project. Someone thought it would be cool to make a pipe that looked like a crank handle, drilled out pieces and filled holes with plugs to direct airflow throughout. This does not look like a production pipe by any known marque that I have seen.

I’m sure it passes a pipe cleaner — once you pull all the oil gallery plugs.

Im sure you can start an old John Deere with that crank.

Where are you from? What’s your interest in pipes? What’s your interest in the forum, other than the apparent interest?

Looks like some guy used a good pocketknife to "carve" this creature.

I had an old Peugeot 403 once that you could start with a crank. I used to do it every once in a while just to see if I could. Only thing on the car that worked reliably.
