Custom Pipe Tampers: A Hidden Gift

[woodsroad]

We recently bought a new bed and bed frame, and while dismantling the old frame, found a hidden gift. Imagine! The craftsman who made our old frame was a pipe smoker, and hid these beautiful custom tampers in the structure! I can hardly believe my eyes! Each is turned from pure steel, with a glistening gold-like cadmium plating. A knurled shaft provides for a firm grip while embelishing this gem with an aestheticly joyful, yet whimsical twist.

I only have six of these available, $25 each, shipping included within the US.

I'm not paying less than 100.00 ea!

That looks like real gold plating to my eye (and I buy a lot of real jewelry for Mrs SS, from all the best pawn shops around). I'm going upstairs to dismantle some of our beds right now.

For $100 I can throw in a dozen recycled pipe cleaners.
You know how new jeans and t-shirts never get good until the tenth or 15th washing? Well, the same is true for pipe cleaners! I normally sell these for $5 each, but order now and get the bundle deal!

I was interested but upon further inspection, the hexagonal recess appears to be 5/32 of an inch.
A man of refinement can never be associated with anything less than *8mm.


*For anyone brutish enough to be unfamiliar with the metric system:
8mm is roughly equivalent to 5/16 of an inch

@woodsroad Don't forget to include the date in your ad title.

I would buy one. But showing off ones wealth like that is a good way to get mugged or robbed. Even the Hoi Polloi could tell that's something special. So in other words it's a hard pass.

I understand you assuming that you need a larger hole. I find that tamping a bit harder is sufficient.

Ah!
Then you’ll be wanting the Stealth Wealth model!

Oh that's even worse. They'll know why I am using that and will instead of robbing me seduce me and make me fall in love and sign a very one side prenup and then make my life hell.

You really need to end this thing that you and Kim have going on.

Yes, I would not want to be seen as putting on airs.

You had me up until knurled shaft...think I'll pass.

How about “Ribbed for Pleasure”?

It never ceases to amaze me, the way that we look upon the world with suspicion but readily accept any/every lie some woman tells us.

Don’t blame me, I didn’t vote for Hillary!

The Old World craftsmanship is simply amazing

Well, maybe that should be in first person?

Perhaps I am just fortunate, in that most lies from women I know are directed at others.

anotherbob and Kim have a thing? I don’t mean to be too judgy but one of them is making a terrible mistake.

 

[jpmcwjr]

What luck; what timing!

I, too, recently uncovered an incredible tamper which I'll let go for only $35. What's that you say? There're more on offer for less! BUT, this one has a gentlemanly—dare I say, more manly!— finish, not garish, almost raw metal. And it has a custom bend as shown below; it helps keep the fingers out of vision.
