detroitmak Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Hey Folks, Been a while since i have been on here. Lately I have been on craigslist finding amazing deals on unique hookahs. This is my latest find. Im pretty sure its egyptian, when i got it, it was covered with calcium and lime deposits. Picture shown. I CLR'd it up and now it looks amazing! Best part of it all was that it only cost $20. (plus $7 for the CLR.) -detroitmak Before [attachment=6068:old hookah.jpg] After [attachment=6069:Bashar-Craigslist-Hookah.jpg] It also came with this odd piece that i am unsure of. Anyone know what this is for? [attachment=6070:Weird-peice.jpg] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Not bad, man! I'd say that was a pretty good deal. Looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chreees Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Not sure, but there are a ton of manufacturers in Egypt. I really like it cause it looks a lot like the one seen in Firefly, which I have always been on the lookout for: [img]http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee249/gaia_plateau/fireflyhookah-00hr05min51sec.jpg[/img] How does she smoke?

Bawhee Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 it looks like a pipe at the lounge I go to, owned by an Egyptian guy, Ill look around if I can find it and ask him tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detroitmak Posted December 13, 2012 Author Share Posted December 13, 2012 (edited) Here is another deal I got just two weeks ago... Also $20, also came with a case and a pretty but horrible hose. It is a Tunisian Hookah made by Congoro. Below its pictured with a Razan hose. Whats unique about this one is how the tray sits on the hookah as seen in the pic.

Chreees Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Sure that tray isn't upside down?? Some Syrians have tray holders like that, like the short Al Nawras brass/wooden one I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chreees Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 It's gotta go the other way around. It looks silly and defeats the purpose of a tray as pictured. If you ever want to sell that first pipe, let me know, I may be interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoozle Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 That tray may be dished on the inner part but with a turned down edge. Not sure if that makes any sense, but I think it may still kinda work. It does look dangerous though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehelios Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Anyone else notice that they put the tray between the stem and the vase?

Merely meant that it shouldn't take a genius to figure out where the tray goes... Plus, any decent props master should know their shit in terms of research and whatnot.
