Was This A Real Thing? A Gold Painted Pipe?

[mikethompson]

Not sure what to make of this one - partof me says it's a legit gold painted pipe from the factory, the other half says it is a normal pipe spray painted gold at some point in its life.

What say you guys? Anyone seen something like this before?

 

[Sigmund]

Im gonna say that its definitely not legit. Not one inch, not one ounce.

Rattle can garbage.

The seller has listed it as copper. Which it quite clearly isn't. It looks like it has just been spray-painted.

Well, the answer to your question has two parts... Yes it was a real thing, Dunhill made them in silver and gold. @Humblepipe sold a pair of them recently. But, that is not one of them, it's just a spray painted pipe.

Usually applied in a fit of revenge.

It’s “paint, gold paint.”

It looks like the copper screening I put in my Guitars.

Nothin like the taste of spray paint with Perique

Also Tom Eltang has done the same along with Todd Johnson.

Ah yes I thought there was another. Didn’t he do silver as well? I feel like Iv also seen silver.

I know Tom Eltang did Gold, Silver, and maybe even Bronze/Copper.

Would have been cooler if the dead golden girl had a golden pipe in her mouth. Hindsight 20/20!

Spray paint: flavor enhanced if you like huffing paint but get too light headed. A choice score for the connoisseur of huffing.

Big difference in gold plated vs. gold painted. The latter is horrible, and the former holds no interest for me except the novelty of it.

 

[verporchting]

The real problem is keeping the gold plated tobacco lit.

Fear the man with a can of Krylon and an idea.

I really can't tell if it is gold paint or copper. I wouldn't think it is meant to be smoked.

 

[georged]

Gold?

Pffffffft...

For me it's tantalum or nothing.

Legit or not, I kind of view it as gilding the lily. Not necessary with a proper pipe.
