Pair of Vintage Novelty Bottle Pipes Wooden Folding Tobacco Pipes in Bottle Cases silverplated mats the piece shows lively figuralAn unusual pair of vintage novelty bottle pipes, each cleverly concealed within the form of a miniature bottle. Both examples unscrew and assemble to form a functional smoking pipe, with wooden bodies and metal fittings. One is finished in a light figured wood, possibly sycamore or similar hardwood, while the second has a dark stained finish. The darker example appears to be the earlier of the two and is hand inscribed to the cap with the date 1907
