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.

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.

Thanks Kurt, is the stand crystal as well? Do you know what year they are and how many were made? this thing is beautiful.

Tom,
I think you got the one I was bidding on also..... :) They are really cool!

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.

Anyone have a picture of one? Curious to see what they look like.

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.

Here's the boat/stand

Very cool!!!!

I sure would like to have one of them!!!

Yup, that is the boat, looks pretty easy to build that stand. Do you have any idea what it is worth? I may have paid to much, but would have paid more. George knows one of the ladies that worked a Cig when they were made, he is going to find out what year and how many were made. Very cool though.
Thanks for the pics.

Hey Robert hope you have been doing well, now get off that big fat wallet and buy a real one!:drink:

You loaning money my friend? How are u doing, and what are you riding in these days, a cig I hope?

I don't know what it's worth but I can't imagine very much. Maybe a couple hundred bucks to a Cig nut???

Mine was bought in a Jewlery store in Hamilton Bermuda, I don't believe the Cigarette factory had much (if anything) to do with producing these crystal models.

I forgot what I bought mine for on Ebay for but, knowing how I bid on non-needed items, it was def. under $100.

Wanna sell it??

I want one.

Oh man you aren't making me feel very good I paid $350.00 for mine just because I wanted it. I will give you a hundred for yours, where do I mail the ck? George piparo said not very many were made. Hopefully this thread will stay up long enough that someone who knows will chine in.

FWIW, I think I paid 60 bucks when new.

Lets get some made.

I'll take one!

Ok!
Lets start the bidding!!!

:evilb::evilb::evilb:



















Sorry guys, not selling it right now! I love my Donzi more than anything but still have a soft spot for a classic Cigarettes. That is what drew me into this stupid obsession in the first place!

I wanted to bring this back up, surely there are more than three out there.

:eekdrop:Anyone ever come up with more than three?

I have one and it's very cool but different stand then shown,
