Opium pipe?

[mojjax]

Found in an old barn . It has a little pointy thing in the bowl . Seems to be made of pewter type metal . I'm not sure if it's from the 1970's or the 1870's the hole at the base of the bowl acts like a carburetor . Any ideas how old it might be ?

Air hose End

Here's a new thought: Could it be an old version of the tool used to check the air pressure in tires? The sliding rod with the tick marks is missing, and would have slid back and forth inside the stem.

I think this needs more research.

Agree, Air in or air out. IF it fits the older Tube Stems
that would Help our case.

I think that based on the last image of the object we can conclusively rule out a smoking device of any kind. It looks too clean to have been used for that purpose. But it could still be something of alien origin, such as the dreaded Anal Probe or the Brain Drainer.

u def don't want to travel around with that in your car especially at a DWI check point

yup the Gestapo might want to see your papers and search you
with no probable cause sept driving down a road that you pay tax's for

Midden may be aware of this: having a Grateful Dead sticker on your car IS considered probable cause in the state of New Jersey. (After all, everyone knows we Dead Heads make LSD in our bathtubs and are always transporting large quantities of it around!)

Your name is Captain TRIPS!!!!!! lol

You noticed! Actually, I take that name in forums as a tribute to the late, great Grateful Dead guitarist Jerry Garcia, who, in his younger days, was called that because of, well, his "habits."

Possibly one of the 5 best guitar players this world has ever known!

Great find. Was a great read over the last little while wondering what it would turn out to be. Definately a good mystery.

LOL if you try telling a judge its all those things, you better hope you got bail money.

Old buddy was arrested for a juice bottle with a metal lid that had a hole in it with a pin. It was considered drug paraphernalia and a separate charge.

What I was saying is anything that can be used in any way, shape or form to smoke from, snort through and has any residue or is found with an illegal substance in the same possession is considered paraphernalia and a separate charge.

And I'm sticking with the alien device. It's tough to beat the thrill of a long shot coming in!
