Item Description
Well made glazed ceramic with 5" dia. base and 11" height in glossy deep red and blue panels flanking white center area. The bowl area is at center front below his chin and has .75" opening. On the right side is a small air hole known as a "Carb," "Rush," "Shotty" or "Choke." This hole is covered with the user's thumb until enough smoke is drawn to "Carb" or "Shotgun" the hit. Done correctly, use of this air hole can "Supercharge" the hit. The bong is unused and Mint as made. No maker's name. First we've seen and a great item symbolically combining the Nixon and hippie eras.
