I saw your comments about your mosque.  I have one also, given to me
by my 76-year-old neighbor.  It was popular in the 1960s as a place to
stash marijuana cigarettes.  I have mine for sale on several auctions
for $400.00.  It's worth at least that.  It is vintage and originally
sold for around $385.00 at the Reuge Co. in France.
