Brass Princess Mary Box from WW1, 1914
Princess Mary's Box
"In November 1914, the 17-year old Princess Mary created the Sailors & Soldiers Christmas Fund calling on the people of Britain to provide everyone wearing the King’s uniform and serving overseas on Christmas Day 1914 with a ‘gift from the nation’.
The result was the production of an embossed brass box, decorated with a portrait of Princess Mary, which would contain an assortment of gifts. Remarkably, despite a severe shortage of brass, over than 355,000 tins were successfully delivered by the Christmas deadline. When the fund finally closed in 1920, almost £200,000 had been donated for the provision of more than two and a half million boxes with contents."
Princess Mary card included in the Box, 1914
Included in Princess Mary's brass box was a pipe, a pack of cigarettes, a pouch of pipe tobacco, Portraits of the King and Queen, a cabinet card of Princess Mary and a 'Christmas card'.
I'm guessing the Princess Mary cabinet cards were heavily used...

RIP Kees Hoekert...
On New Year's Day 2017 a giant has gone. Kees Hoekert, founder of the Lowlands Weed Company, was a completely unique figure who deserves his nickname 'Grandfather of the Dutch Nederweed'. He died at the age of 88
Kees Hoekert in Holland July 31, 1969
"Kees Hoekert proves: Anyone anywhere can grow his own weed free!"
Kees more or less inadvertently started growing weed on his houseboat. Like everyone, he is convinced that you can not grow weed in the Netherlands.
"Then those plants start to grow. Then they suddenly do it! One evening I harvested, dried, everything. Then I think: you know what I'm doing, I'm going to give it a try. I smoke a stick, with the certainty 'that can never be what', and suddenly ... suddenly it happens. I get up. Is that true? Is it possible here too? I walk outside and there, on slippers, I feel the secretions between the different street tiles. This is a miracle! An oil well under my kitchen sink! And then the first thing you will think: sssstttt, say no to anyone. No, I think: tell everyone. We must tell this to everyone, because it is a miracle. That's how I started."

Hello Billy, I think there is a little mistake, before the Geishas is the Playboy magazine. Couldn´t be in the 1920s.
Keep up the good work!

Still Life with a Glass of Beer, a Pipe, Tobacco and Other Requisites of Smoking (hemp lighter) by Jan Jansz van de Velde in 1658
Long before you could be publicly shamed for using a Bic by the eco friendly crowd, Tokers were already using hemp wicks to spark their bowls
Love how he signed his pieces as a carving in the table
