ANTIQUE PAKTONG CHINESE WATER PIPE
My husband brought this item back from his Grandmother's estate. Can you tell me what it is? You have what appears to be a 19th c Paktong Chinese Water Pipe. Sometimes called an opium pipe, it most often was used for tobacco. Paktong is a metal alloy made of Copper, Nickel and Zinc. This pipe is worth about $100, but, could bring more as it looks to be an excellent example if it is an original. (I cannot tell by the photo)
