Bubble pipes!

Hi there, H/A. I figured I could come to you in my search for ridiculous quirky items. I'm looking to find a bubble pipe - but not one of those cheap wacky colorful ones you can get for 2 bucks at a drugstore, but something that looks reasonably authentic, like a Sherlock Holmes pipe. And no, this will not be used to blow anything other than innocent, wholesome bubbles. :P Thanks in advance for any help!

Not a Sherlock Holmes style but at least not purple and green.
I made mine. Good luck finding a nice looking one. When I was researching bubble pipes, only the blow-molded plastic ones are the kind I could find. There really isn't a market for a high-end bubble pipe, so I made my own.
You could probably use a regular briar pipe if you really wanted to. The only difference between a bubble pipe and a briar is the material and construction. The concept is the same, though the airflow is reversed. The one issue would be the briar absorbing the liquid, which is what it is designed to do, also, you'd ruin the pipe, so I probably wouldn't do that.
I want to pick your brain now. PM'd.
That corncob pipe looked nice, but they want a $25 minimum order, the bastards.
Aye, the plan may have to be put on hold it sounds like... ooh... unless Forbe! would work on commission? Maybe that's cutting it a bit too close time-wise though.
