One of the charms of accidentally having ended up in Janesville, WI half each month is... finding things.

 

 

Thoughts?

Handy in the event of a powercut....park'er right by your pen box.!

It's a vintage bong.

 

Looks to be in immaculate shape - is it actually pewter or something? The emblem is lovely.

Likely an employee gift. Now the interesting part, any manufacturer marks? Also, didn't Parker have a news letter? I ask because it would be interesting to identify who made it, when it as made, and if it predated Parker's Pewter pen production, and was related to relationships which developed around that.

A bit more detail. The Parker logo is on side of base. The killer gift-maker's marks are on bottom.

Well, David, you beat me to it. You used to let these go little bit longer :-)
I have the matching cordial goblet. A set of five or six I forget how many.
In fact, I found them at Carousel in Janesville a few years

I'm patting myself on the back, out here on the West coast, for guessing pewter. Good night.

I would guess these would be from the '70s or '80s, given the logo and the pewter craze at that time.
