| Should be easy to recreate actually.
Tinsky or someone made a replaceable bowl cavalier a couple years back. Where the rubber meets the road that's all this is. It just looks cooler cause it's old (or made to look old)

| ...whadda they call those factory effed-up guitars that you buy brand-new? "Relic'ed?"  Couldn't be that hard to leave a pipe outside for a few months in the rain... ...well, since PB said it's super simple, anyone game to try? Uber?  |

Tobacco: Leaning toward English flakes lately, and the occasional Danish style semi-aromatic. I'll try anything once, and usually finish the tin as a matter of principle.
Pipe: If it draws air, it'll smoke. If it's a Peterson bulldog or Savinelli billiard, all the better.

If you think about it, it WOULD be pretty easy to make this. The entire bowl could be turned on a lathe. I was too lazy to translate the french when I posted this, and looking back on it now it doesn't say much about its age, but does mention a patent. If this IS a reproduction, they must have cobbled it from some antique parts. The metal fittings don't bear the marks of "fake aging", and if that horn stem is synthetic, I want to know who makes it! |

| the fittings et al could be old and repurposed.. it is Steampunk.
I'm not saying it is.. I'm just saying its possible.

Ah, yes. My apologies. Once a sub-genre of science fiction literature, steampunk was a sort of Jules Verne revival, if you will. Now it's largely specialized coslpay. (Not to denigrate the hobby, but it's not my thing.) Somewhere in the middle, there were a few really talented craftsmen re-building modern contrivances such as computers and cell phones from brass and wood, to look like they were made a hundred years ago. Sort of an Edwardian vision of the future. Closely related is "Dieselpunk", with the same spirit from the perspective of the 1930s or 40s. |
Yeah, I found a whole bunch of sites on the whole hobby. The "Wild Wild West" movie and original series were both Steampunk I learned.
From the looks of it, I could definitely abide Dieselpunk as well...

| Wow, I feel really old. I only "discovered" steam punk as a genre last month when I was on ETSY looking for a Valentine's gift.
However, a series of novels I read a couple years ago called "The Glass Books of the Dream Eaters" seem kinda steam punk-ish in retrospect. Anyone read any of those? |
