Giant Antique Mother Of Pearl And Brass Custom Tobacco Pipe Tamper:
$32.50

An absolutely stunning Early 20th Century button hook handle was repurposed to make this naturally beautiful tamper.

200 years ago, giant, thick shelled abalone were plentiful along the two coasts of America. A hundred years later, these decades old mollusks were over harvested to critical levels. Fast forward to now, and they are nearly extinct.

This is not a preachy lecture on sustainability...the damage is already done. I just want the new owner of this beautiful smoking tool to truly understand how rare a mother of pearl piece of these grand dimensions truly is.

I doubt that there is a living abalone left in the world, old enough to have a shell this thick and patterned. Sad for the abalone, but a treasure to hold in your hand.

Thanks for looking...
