Went to my spot in the Great South Bay yesterday, found a Gylco-Heroin bottle, and some weird looking figurine that looks like a Toothpick holder. Any1 got a clue?

Welcome to the forum, now if we can get you to rotate those pics clockwise 90 degrees...[8D]

Hatpin holder is my guess... Hence the expression on his face[;)]

I think you'll make some money with the Heroin bottle. Love the hatpin holder ......that is too much. There sure are a lot of weird things to be found digging. That one rates right up there. By the way, welcome and good luck on future digs!

I believe your figurine is known to collectors as a "smoking head", which is a fanciful series of ashtrays, hence the holes in his head for the smoke to exit.

Red may be right but I've never seen one with so many holes in the head, cool item no matter what it is...
