RayVer Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 okay so I was search around on ebay for hookahs just for fun (as always) and I found this....Some anthropologist with a Harvard degree is selling it. It's made with brass and some silver.... best of all its from the mid-to-late 19th century!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayVer Posted January 17, 2008 Author Share Posted January 17, 2008 oh man just found another interesting hookah auction.This is a Persian hookah and its older. This one is from the second half of the 18th century!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayVer Posted January 17, 2008 Author Share Posted January 17, 2008 The first one the auction starts at $550 and no bidsthe second one is at $199 and also no bids..I wish I had extra money. I'd buy them both and have a small hookah museum at my place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoopy1966 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Cool finds RayVer. All those would make great conversation pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayVer Posted January 17, 2008 Author Share Posted January 17, 2008 oooo.. this one is nice too. the hookah is carved from wood and comes from the 1800- early 1900sI'm digging the bowl... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guyt Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 The wooden one looks sick. I'm just thinking that the wood might add its own flavor to the smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geiseric Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Wow, that's pretty cool. If I had money to throw around, thats where I would throw it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechAnt Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I thought the Chinese hookahs were only because they made cheap alternatives but it seems like it really is in their culture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JillyIsJustKidding Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 If money wasn't such a prob right now (hehe cuz I'm a poor college student) I'd so get one of those hookahs. They'd be awesome just to have and knowing that you own a piece of shisha's history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaia.plateau Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I think the carved wood is my favourite, although the bowl frightens me a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Devils Playground Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I almost bid on this 1 but realized it was not complete so I decided against it.

I serve the first two at my lounge for the really hard core smokers. Tastes great, the buzz'll put you down hard though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
