I can never find information on these anywhere. I deal a lot with opium pipes and paraphernalia, but these just never show up online for sale at prices anywhere near average opium pipes and the closest thing they look like are opium pipes, so I'm at a loss for advice, but your pictures are blurry which makes it harder to identify.
