I found a rather interesting thjng in a pile of junk my friend went through while looking for scrap metal I think it's rare and one of a kind it appears to me to be carved from bone or possibly ivory. It has a face carved into the stem piece where u would hold it and the bowl piece And then wrapped when it gets to the bottom which is rounded like a bong but the bowl part sticks straight out off of it and it sits up like an L. not sure of the material but it has a copper or brass like finish to it and the mouthpiece is also a brass like straw sort of. Skinny like that.. Someone I'm sure knows about this specific kind of tobacco pipe so enlighten me as of where It might have originated from and when and value on something like this or if I'm just a big dummy and have a 20 dollar piece. Thank u
