Look closely...

Look very closely...

Things are not always what they seem.

And if you have a pipe, then of course you'll also need a lighter.



Dark Roasted Blend has an article on miniature spy guns, most of them antique, and as usual with DRB, lots and lots of pictures.

I'm somewhat disturbed by the pipe. The discoloration on the stem appears to be oxidation which would be caused by someone actually carrying it around in his mouth. "Shot by his own pipe" would be a stupid way to die.
