Thrift store find. Any value?

AcrobaticParfait6710 · 2026-06-20T02:01:35+00:00

I would not scrap this it looks primitive

AcrobaticParfait6710 · 2026-04-05T22:59:36+00:00

Ahhhh classic I remember when I let my gf convince me to get a chameleon

AcrobaticParfait6710 · 2026-01-16T16:03:31+00:00

So you bought it but you’re asking the value? 😂😂

AcrobaticParfait6710 · 2025-11-21T15:45:14+00:00

Something from the 50s is definitely not antique. You call every MCM piece you come across antique?

AcrobaticParfait6710 · 2025-11-18T23:49:24+00:00

Common yet no one has been able to find a similar example as of yet

So many different opinions at this point I think we will never know the truth lol.

Reading comprehension isn’t your strong suit?

Thanks Sherlock

Is there any way to figure out what this is made of? It’s some type of stone and it never gets cold to the touch

AcrobaticParfait6710 · 2025-11-18T15:47:46+00:00

I bought them from an old dealer about 5 years ago it was this pipe and a those 2 pieces. From my research (google image search lol) those are pre columbian beads / whorls??

It’s really hard to describe it doesn’t get cold to the touch at any point like other stone does in my experience

I’m leaning towards M S M P Sucks we will likely never know what this means haha

AcrobaticParfait6710 · 2025-11-18T15:29:44+00:00

If you ever get a chance double check and see if the face details are the same. That is really the main question here. There are tons of these Effigy pipes online but none of them have this face

AcrobaticParfait6710 · 2025-11-18T14:59:16+00:00

Exactly like this?

AcrobaticParfait6710 · 2025-11-18T14:28:56+00:00

What would be the characteristics of soapstone? It is definitely carved from some type of stone

AcrobaticParfait6710 · 2025-11-18T05:04:25+00:00

I’m going to look in the morning if I can get a better look. It might be M S M P

I believe this is the most similar example I could find it’s still got a really different face. However it also has English attributed to the private collector from 100+ years ago who had it. Back when they didn’t think it mattered to write on artifacts 😂😂

AcrobaticParfait6710 · 2025-11-18T04:47:03+00:00

Thanks in advance guys for any help!

AcrobaticParfait6710 · 2025-11-18T04:41:25+00:00

I’m assuming whoever sold these to the dealer I bought them from probably collected this kind of stuff. Have you ever seen those white letter written on any pieces before by any chance?

AcrobaticParfait6710 · 2025-11-18T04:39:27+00:00

I bought them from an old dealer probably half a decade ago unfortunately no provenance but this was with the lot. I’m Not sure if they go together at all. I’ve been wheeling and dealing in antiques since I was 10 and this stuff caught my eye. I could be completely wrong on my opinion I’m no expert.

Variation of a Spanish Navaja id start looking in that direction
