mgsontour Posted August 10, 2022 Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 Good morning to you all. My neighbour has the unthankful job of emptying an elderly relatives house following his demise and has come across this table, which no-one can identify. My best guess was a gentleman's drinking table who smoke fat cigars. I thought some one in the fountain of PW would know or come up with an educated guess. Thanks in advance lads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old'un Posted August 10, 2022 Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 Its a side wine table but I have never seen one with holes in it, more than likely a DIY job, did the guy have any connection with hunting? its possible the holes were for stirrup cups, but its an odd number of holes.

Westley Posted August 10, 2022 Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 I would also suggest a pipe smokers table, having been a pipe smoker I can appreciate how useful it could have been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agriv8 Posted August 10, 2022 Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 Pipes for me - held by holes the metal bowel for ash after finishing my grandad had a pipe rack which ranged from those for the garden - to the important posh ones for market day - often used as a pointer!

JohnfromUK Posted August 10, 2022 Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 You don't want to store pipes bowl up, mouthpiece down or all the nasty tar and goo runs into the stem. Normal pipe racks store bowl up. But I don't know what else it might be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
