Gently Used Soccer Field

[Rock Sinders]

Went out to a old remote soccer field near the forest line today. I didn't hold out for much, but I got a couple of items:
A cool brass piece which I have no clue what it is, and a brass belt buckle?
Pennies:1952 Georgie, 1961 Lizzy, and a 1962 US Lincoln

Cool finds.

The brass item is a ‘Proto Pipe’, designed by Phil Jergenson in 1968. Ostensibly for tobacco, but of course widely used for other loads. They’re still made today:

Here’s an older one, like yours:

Close examination should show the letters ‘PP’ on the sliding cover unless it’s a knock-off copy made by someone else.

I’ve never seen that one before and I’ve seen a few. That’s a L100 pipe new, and yours has a nice patina.

Oh my gosh! You've got it. We're laughing pretty hard here. We thought it was a propane gadget or something. haha! Yes it has the "PP" markings on it. SOLVED!

Been a minute since I've seen another ProtoPipe...an amazing bit of engineering, it is.

Got a couple stored in a box...somewhere.

Nice! I found a Proto Pipe last year in Laughlin NV. Brought back fond memories of partying in the 70's.

Oh wow. So that top item is for electrical. Cool. here, I thought it was a handle for those Jiffy Pop popcorn foils you could put on the campfire. Thanks for letting me know.
Well for someone to take their smokes that seriously, they'd have to be a keener and have bucks for sure.
I'll take the $1.50 for the brass instead lol
