This skull and snake pipe can be smoked by removing the ferrule or by unscrewing the handle and putting on a stem carried in the pocket. The umbrella mechanism is of a standard type except there is a internal tube that keeps the smoke from escaping as it is smoked from the ferrule. Original cloth. The shaft and ferrule is anodized brass. Circa 1890 and I'm sure it was made by the sameer person or company that made the previous cat umbrella used as a cane.
