Description

All I can tell you is one of my grandfather's bout this for my other grandfather. I was always told he bought it right off the boat and used it once. That is the only time I know of that it was used. Not sure if when he purchased it but it had to be in the 60's or 70's, I think. I would greatly appreciate any information anyone could provide me on the origin, time frame, and value of this piece.

I don't see a lot of value here, some Hookahs can be very fancy, that demand the best price. Your's $10.00 to $50.00.....based on what I have seen sold...

1960s/1970s would sound about right for this piece. It's an Indian or possibly just Indian style hookah pipe. They're not worth anything really, I guess it depends but they are everywhere.
