Social History Curators Group email list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of WALKER Rebecca Many thanks Mark and
Steph. Mark – Could I ask you if the enquirer need to take this
further? Or, do I need to advise them on the item if they wished to sell
it? We don’t get many of these in the Becki -----Original Message----- This is
an opium pipe, not sure about the legalities of ownership with this. (I used to
be Curator for Customs and Excise so saw a lot of these!) They also come with
enamel decoration. Mark

Social History Curators Group email list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of WALKER Rebecca Hi, This lovely object was
bought in over the weekend. It’s made from possibly electroplated silver
and has removable tweezers and has what looks like to be Chinese hallmarks. Thing is, it
doesn’t look like anything we have in the collections? Has anyone
come across one of these? Many thanks Becki Rebecca Walker Coton Road, Warwickshire CV11 5TU Tel: 024 76 350720 Website: www.nuneatonandbedworth.gov.uk/museum Do you really need to print this email 80% of emails are
