Piece: Tobacco Pipe
1975 tobacco water pipe created by Missouri native, California transplant, Jim Rumph. This piece is called "the gremlin" and measures 6 1/2 inches tall. It was rated as extremely rare in 2003 and was valued at $300.00 (

Now, a decade later, it is evidenced that Rumph collectors do not part with their pieces. I have procured this piece, in pristine condition, from an auction. No chips or cracks. The original slide (with pottery) is still on tact. These pieces are extremely rare collector pieces.
With the changing laws in Colorado and Washington these are prized collector pieces of art that any aficionado will want to proudly display. Don't miss your opportunity to own one.
