Looks like something Ron Burgundy would smoke!

I saw one on ebay the other day, perhaps the same one and it was new to me too. It gives me a creepy 70's vibe that's hard to explain.

 

[Infantry23]

It's like if pipe smoking was mainstream Hollywood, that pipe would be the adult film industry. I don't know man, I'm at a loss to explain how much that pipe weirds me out.

Who knew the Velvet Mafia liked smoking pipes?

So unexplainably unbelievably creepy.

That's dried blue algae!

I assume it is "rare" because nobody else has ever desecrated their Peterson with a faux suede sock?

I wonder if that pipe was originally sold together with a painting of Elvis?

 

[ARTOPUT]

I wonder if that came from the Art Deco time period so many strange things during that period of time. Interesting but no thanks.

A quick bit of research revealed that this pipe was actually created by Clive Dunhill, a distant (and some say disowned) relative of Alfred's. By way of introduction, here is a link (Clive Dunhill) to part of a presentation that Mr. Dunhill made before the members of the Seattle Pipe Club during their annual dinner in 2005.

Creepy, like the movie...

 

[Chaukisch]

I sure wish I never saw one. The horror, the horror...
With that wooden rim peeking out it looks like a pipe that's being devoured by the Velvet Blob,

Stroking the soft doormat, while smoking your favorite tobacco. I'm sorry, but strange thoughts come to me.

 

[Andriko]

It is so unbelievable kitsch and 70s-tacky. The gaudiest pipe I've ever seen. Something that belongs in some sleazy Space Age Bachelor Pad. I absolutely love it.

 

[giacomo]

Now that's something I'll never be able to un-see.

 

[solideogloria86]

The Schlitz mug explains everything.

 

[solideogloria86]

Prom pipe?

 

[Infantry23]

Some people have sofas I wouldn't want to sit on or beds I wouldn't look at with a black light. This is the pipe version.

 

[crashthegrey]

I'm just going to go ahead and pretend that I still have not ever seen one.

Is that the Elvis special?
