Strange Bottle Stopper-New Info!

[mojjax]

Any ideas what this fitting is for ? The stopper has 2 holes , one hole has a hollow piece of a bamboo tube thing . The other hole has this fitting on a hollow copper tube .

Re: Strange Bottle Stopper

I have two guesses:
1. piece of lab equipment
2. Home made hasish water pipe.

Re: Strange Bottle Stopper

the one piece might have has a squeeze bulb on it (lost) and worked as a purfume atomizer -- or it might be a home made opium / hashish pipe as the other person said. -- hard to believe but pre the 1933 pure and drug acts --which restricted the issuing of narcotic drugs to those with a "doctors script "- a legal dr's -ok) --narcotic drugs were legal to buy over the counter on demand * and were blended into many of the everyday food stuffs and compounds people ate and used.-- people often unknowningly becoming hooked to certain food items because of the drugs in them -- gives a whole new meaning to "coke" (it had cocaine in it from cocoa leafs) and pepsi "gotta have it" * 7 up had lithium in it a "mood upper drug"

That W with arrow logo looks familiar.

Wallace Silver Co has a similar logo, but a little different.. I was thinking it was the same.

I am still with the hasish/water pipe. The holes in the copper are hand drilled.

I really doubt it is a smoking apparatus. the copper bit with whole would not work as a bowl or a mouth piece

 

[Planoite]

Condensate collector? Steam forced into the bamboo, condensates out, pressure relieved through Weatherhead fitting?

Small still possibly?

My guess is that a rubber hose fit over the bamboo piece, which was then supplied with air pressure from a seperate cylinder, and then forced out whatever type of soloution the bottle might have contained. I'm guessing a vaporizer of some sort.

P.S. ~ Anyone who grew up in the 1960s and 70s like I did should know that it's almost toxic to smoke anything from a "copper" pipe or bowl. There is a deadly chemical reaction of some kind that occurs when copper is heated and then drawn into the lungs. And how do I know this? I'm not telling! But the 1973 picture of me below when I was 21 years old might give you a clue.

And, no! I am not a user today. I haven't touched anything since the day I was married in April of 1977. It was a promise I made to my new bride, and one I have stayed with now for 34 years and counting!
