Random Pipe Collection Pieces

[joshremy]

I picked up this odd little piece made in 1950s Japan. Its a Salt and Pepper Shaker which also functions as a cork screw and a bottle opener, made in the shape of 2 pipes on a pipe stand....
It has me wondering... Who else has some odd pipe-related piece in their house? I'd love to see pictures.

Maybe it will make my wife believe I'm not so weird!! :?

That's a nice pair. It'll remind you of pipe smoking whilst at the dinner table. And there's nothing wong with that. Sometimes I eat so I can smoke!

All I have that is pipe related that isn't used for pipes is this old Kaywoodie ad. It came with a lot of pipes I bought.

But I do like that "Down to Earth" pipe with designed to look like a globe on a rotating stand.

That one was very cool. Much more so than the phallic Oom Paul.

Paul Kruger Piggy Bank? I know it's supposed to be the guy the oom pauls are named for.

The wikepedia article only has a brief reference to the pipe shape being named for him. but it's a fun read

Never far from his pipe, he was a chain smoker.

sounds like a few of us
