Default Crystal Cigarette

I bought a crystal Cigarette from George Piparo this week and wanted to know if any of you guys have ever seen one of them. George said only a few were ever made. He said it also came with a stand but he could not find it, so if any of you have one I would like to see it so I can make one or have one made. It is a real prize and looks just like the Top Gun.
He also is going to find out for me which owner of Cig had them made and what year. Any info would be appreciated.

Robert

I bought one of the crystal top guns on Ebay about a year ago and it is really cool! Mine is missing the stand too! I am thinking of building a little wooden cradle for it.

I bought one while on our honeymoon in Bermuda in 1990. They are pretty cool. I'll try to get a pic of the stand for you.

The stand is wood, painted black with two bow supports. As for how old, as mentioned, mine was bought in 1990, the first 'Gun was '87, have not seen many of them.

I have three pics of it, however it clear so it doesn't show up very well. It is in an email and I don't know how to post.
