homebrew13 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 found this for sale at a yard sale and had to get it. I used to have an old one when I was a teen that was always a discussion piece at parties. I'm not really going to use it other than a bit of decoration just wanted to know the era, and country it might be from. thanks for the help!

wpw36 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 are there flowerish looking things on the tray holder cuz i think i see some peeking thru on the second picjust by the looks i am calling an old all brass km Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tikhman Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 yep, I'm going to take a guess and say its an old KM. Take a pic of the plate the tray sits on and we'll tell you for sure. Great find and really a shame to have that and not use it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homebrew13 Posted April 30, 2009 Author Share Posted April 30, 2009 here is the pic of the plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homebrew13 Posted April 30, 2009 Author Share Posted April 30, 2009 the lady i got it from had just moved from Arizona to Oregon where I'm at. She said her ex-boyfriend had bought it from an Arab family in Tempe. there are some flowerish or crown looking marks on the plate. Its a bit tarnished, should I try to polish it? if so what works good? or does it depreciate it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tikhman Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 The engraving is of a lotus flower and the pipe is definitely a Khalil Mamoon. If you want to clean it up, brasso will do a good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechAnt Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Hmmm, that strange. The logo stamped on the tray looks like Magdy Zidan while the place on which the tray rests looks like Khalil Mamoon.Brass cleaner will do the job and make it look beautiful!

no longer welcome Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 QUOTE (giant ninja robot @ May 1 2009, 07:38 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Clean it, smoke it, love it.exactly, no need to keep it just for decoration, it's probably better quality than alot of today's KM's.What did you pay for it?

Thermo Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Piece of total junk, really. Probably dangerous to keep around too. Safer to get rid of it if you ask me.I'll do you a favor and take it off your hands for $1, just because I'm in a good mood. I'll put it in my, um, disposal facility.
