    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.

      I don't think it was a medical devive to elaborate . I am wondering how big it is ? How tall ?

      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!
