wek-sos Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 People pay crazy prices for some things... http://www.ebay.com/itm/281305555025?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT I think someone here posted a similar Iran (or Iraq?) hookah. Not my style but it's something cool to look at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightHawk63 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I think it's an Iraqi pipe, that weird little purge valve at the top has to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wek-sos Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 It just seems so impractical. Harder to clean the downstem when another pipe is running through there, and unless you had a 12" tray there is no way it would catch ash or a falling coal.

Hassouni Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I think it's an Iraqi pipe, that weird little purge valve at the top has to go. Doubtful, pipes in Iraq are generic Egyptian types. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk Dude, bad ass, I want it, my favorite hookah styles out of all of them is the caged style like that one, which is why my elmas kafesli is my favorite pipe.

Stuie Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 Don't recall, it's been a couple of years. But next time I am down there I will text you (possibly July). They usually are brass in color there are some nickle plated. Usually a male adapter. That's the first female bowl adapter I have seen on one.

Stuie Posted May 22, 2014 Author Share Posted May 22, 2014 This is the one I am thinking of wmdproductions.com They have one of the hookahs pictured on the front page.

deprekate Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 (edited) Just picked up this little beauty. Nickle plated solid brass, copper downstem, female bowl port (makes it older?). The tray is gorgeous. I need a nicer silver bohemian vase though. Possibly Nawras? Tray: Edited June 22, 2014 by deprekate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
