It was marked $5.00 , I offered $3.00 , he hesitated , I pulled out a 2 dollar bill & a one . He said yes .
I do not plan on reselling it .A magnet doesn't stick to it .

2 dollar bills are great for closing a deal , I forgot who mentioned it here , but I use them all the time now yard sailing .

That is a funky little find! Are there any marks of any kind on it? Very cool!!
 
I cleaned the bowl a little - put some stuff in it - Nice Pipe . It's staying .

That was me... I ALWAYS bring $2 bills.
 
I used to order $2 bills from my bank and use them for tips and the like, but was told by some waitresses that they thought it bad luck to get one in their tip. Yeah, I used them at flea markets to. Nice elephant pipe thingy.
 
A two dollar bill is worth $10 in the field! I use them a lot too since I've joined this site.

How much is this item?

Oh that's $8 dollars...

Will you take two dollars?

oh my gosh that is so rare, they are so valuable yes two dollars!!! Do you have anymore?

Me, no. Sorry, ($200 worth in the car) hahahaha! Love em!

Sorry I don't know anything about your elephant though. It kind a looks like a cast pewter but I don't know very much about those things. Or a made in India something that someone remade into some type of incense burner?

Is there a hole in the end of the elephants tail? It looks like something somebody would smoke pot out of. Looks like a weed bowl... custom made. Lol.

I found a similar one on ebay -http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Elephant-Silver-Metal-Smoking-Pipe-Tobacco-Tribal-Used-Condition-/122579162758?hash=item1c8a499686:g:G6QAAOSwLcNZWXlS
 
I see them listed as opium pipes from India. Cool find. I would have bought it too.
 
I love the 2 dollar bill idea BTW!
