Seen at an auction, most thought some sort of oil container or pipe. I'm guessing medicinal for either inhaling or lavage. It is about 8" tall.
what is it? anyone know | ||

I don't think it was a medical devive to elaborate . I am wondering how big it is ? How tall ?
also a few different angles of photo would help :-)
mrmajestic1, I think you came pretty close. I'm going with antique metal opium pipe. Most likely Chinese. There is a similar one here:

Thanks everyone! So I guess I was sort of correct with the inhaling and medicinal hehe
And yes nomula, you were definitely in the ballpark and rounding 3rd! Sorry I didn't mention that in my original post. I love it!
