So, Was The Pipe Tool Fake Or Not? The Past Week's Suspense Has Been Insane!

I bet that at this point, a Czech tool—a genuine one—can be made anywhere, just like French Toast, Canadian Bacon, a Hungarian pipe, and a bunch of other stuff are made and used world wide. In other words, it's the description of the item, not provenance.

Still, I'd pay a bit more for the original item. (Such as 50 cents, maybe a buck!)

I know mine is authentic. I got it directly from the Festrunk brothers before they were deported.

They are liking the big American breasts! I miss Garret Morris as well as the other two blokes.

Back in the Dunhill catalog, it was known as a "Pipe Smoker's Trio" tool, it's the Czechs who stole it!

Last year when I ordered some clay pipes, which were drop-shipped from Germany, they included a little bonus in the package. The note said it dated from the 1920s, and it might be a predecessor of the Czech tool. It appears to be an aluminum casting to make up the tamper part, but only had a single pivoted part, the poker. It had no spoon/scraper. It is a very nice piece of work in fit and finish.

Definitely fake!

George must be an anal obsessive compulsive to care about this. Oh, right, he is.

Is it true the Dunhill tools had ivory dots?
