I just got this rather unusual pipe in the mail today, a recent eBay purchase. I’ve checked pipedia and smokingmetal but the closest (but not that close) was unknown.
It’s a push stem design, vulcanite stem, pretty standard, milled aluminium shank and the most remarkable point, the twin “gunk” chambers. The airway in the bottom of the bowl sits over the chamber closest to the stem, so the forward one is for circulation I assume.
It’s barely been smoked, it’s certainly not reamed and I’ve put three bowls through it already and it’s a lovely little smoker.
I’m wondering if it’s a prototype of some kind perhaps. If so it’ll probably never be identified but if anyone out there has any ideas I would very much appreciated it. Thanks for checking it out.
