LPD 04-09-2008, 08:08 PM A fish gaff and club. How old do you think it is? Looks older than dirt.

My 1st impression is,it has clubbed a few halibut after the were brought aboard the boat~? thedelihaus 04-10-2008, 03:15 AM An early Tube tester. "If tube go dark..... Smash It!!!" :bash: Arkay 04-10-2008, 03:21 AM IF it is hollow through the middle, it is a pipe stem. It would have had a fired clay bowl attached to (well, stuck into and possibly wrapped, perhaps with resin to help hold it) the wide end, and the small carved bit at the smaller end is the mouthpiece. A rare and precious find, if that is what it is. Sure looks like one. gearhound 04-10-2008, 07:36 AM WOW!! A 19th century S & M device!! Oh...if it could only talk!?
