Chreees Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Yeah I could tell from the pic of accessories most of it is indeed shit, haha. But hey, that's a great price regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Also, that guy has a TON of other hookah shit. Found these two Nawras as well among his items for sale: http://cgi.ebay.com/HOOKAH-LARGE-24-SYRIAN-HAND-MADE-SHISHA-HOOKA-PIPE-/270709646974?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f078d667e http://cgi.ebay.com/HOOKAH-LARGE-31-SYRIAN-HAND-MADE-SHISHA-HOOKA-PIPE-/270709644394?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f078d5c6a I'd pick up the 24" one if I could (if I had money and if my gf wouldn't throw it across the room when she saw it).

mitchard Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Wya to repost my post from elsewhere! But yeah, those are definitely legit Nawras too.

Nah, I got the first one from the other forum, but the other two I searched his other items for since you guys said he had more than just that one. I do know what Nawras look like.

CarePolice Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Ah-hah. So the one I ordered I'm finding out may very well not be a Nawras. Ah well, live and learn. Hope it's a good hookah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the nicest models, as a matter of fact. I'm jealous. Polish that baby up nice when you get it. I'll be shooting a vid later this week that will help you out. Be on the lookout for Brasso. I found mine at Wal-Mart. Many other people use Bar Keeper's Friend, but I'll be using Brasso in my video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarePolice Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Damn, no kidding? I was worried I was gonna get a hookah made of lead with brass-colored foil on it, hah! Definitely a load of my mind. Just weird, there's no info on them anywhere. Is it an older model? And you know, I kinda like the aged brass look... who knows, I'll probably polish it. Question: How does the leafing on these bases hold up to washing? I won't scrub it much, but it won't peel off right away, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say Nour/Nawras because it's made by Al Nawras, but imported by Nour, so they often go under either name. You can tell the new and old ones apart by the hoseport and purge. The older ones have a longer/wider hoseport, and the purge is a little different, less pointy I think. As for that vase, no clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chreees Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 If I was into green, I'd be placing a bid. But, I'm not too crazy about the Mya bohos anyway. I don't think that's a Mya shank, though... I've never seen one like it, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 The shank is NOT Mya as far as I've ever seen. And the base in Czech not the Mya Rommanian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the new ones are now made in Romania, or so I heard. I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
