this small cobalt bottle has 2 p's inside a round slug in center of bottle with a few raised bumps above it.does anyone have a clue what bottle this is,it looks to me like a pill bottle but unsure.

Hey Dave,


Thanks for takin the additional pipe pix. Are you usin Maxwell Smart's old hatband camera? I get little green bracket lookin things in the viewfinder when I focus real hard with my trusty carrot cam. Check out this great article on American Face Pipes, by Max Bell, and see if your'n looks like any'a those.

Hi,

The pipe is called a sub stemmed pipe, there was a wooden stem attached to the base under the head. It may be British, but most likely french...look for the name Gambier on there.

As for the picture... do you have a macro setting on the camera? It will be a picture of a flower on the dial... that will help with focusing close up.


nice pipe!
