"I Think Brass Man, Head Comes Off And Backpack Opens"
Answer: "Definitely looks like tobacco paraphernalia. My father-in-law has a huge collection of tobacco jars, pipe stands, and the like, and many of them share similarities with this.
Matches would be kept in the backpack, the head used to tamp tobacco down into the pipe, and the walking stick used to clean out the pipe."
I do enjoy these posts!
