You should be able to find Bakelite on ebay as well. Not as expensive as the others. I have not used one myself.

The nice looking pipes come out of China. Not sure I want to puff on a pipe made from who knows what materials. LOL

I believe i actually have one of these pipes of which you talk about.

It sounds like it could be The Pipe or The Smoke line of pipes. Or actually, since it was avocado color, probably the Venturi which ran from '72-75. You can still find them on eBay. They were resin pipes and the original line, The Pipe, had a graphite liner. I don't believe the Venturi did, however. Anyway, if I were a betting man that's what I'd put my money on it being.

You've hit the proverbial nail on the head. Time is right and I think mine had a graphite lining. It was a bent as are most all my pipes. Thanks for the info.

I have always been curious on how these smoke, but I couldn't imagine the looks I would get smoking one of these in public...they are just to art deco for my taste.

Other n the weight they were good smoking. Best part was the ability to hose them down so you'd have a fresh pipe to test smoke blends without ghosts. LOL

It's already a problem, but even more so with these pipes I'd imagine everyone (mostly younger people) would assume it's pot.
