It is quite long, with silver at both ends, a small smoking pot at the top, and a cigarette holder at the end. It's quite bright, but the color is a little dark, which shows that it has been around for many years.

The key is the middle section: smooth and dense, clean and shining, the fine tooth lines are spiral-shaped, one circle after another, the middle bone ridge protrudes, there is a shallow groove on each side, and the blood color can be faintly seen.

Good guys, Huya?

is so long, not counting the cigarette pot mouthpieces at both ends, there are still eleven or twelve centimeters, and they are still removed from the tips of the teeth.

It's so thick: the root of the tooth at the end of the cigarette holder is almost the thickness of a thumb, so how big is this tiger?

It's not that Li Ding'an, a tiger tooth toyer, has never seen it, and there are two pairs in Guan Dehai's store: pure natural, no carving, and a tiger head ornament made of resin is specially used to put teeth.

Zheng Wanjiu also has one, inlaid with gold and jade, and the root of the tooth is engraved with a tiger, and he has also used it to play with it. But those few are at most half the size of this one.

Big or second, the key is the shape of the instrument.

Even now, there are many players who directly wear this thing around their necks to ward off evil spirits. Not to mention in ancient times, this thing can be directly used as a totem. And some people sawed the whole tiger tooth short as a smoke pot, which shows how arrogant the people who use this thing?

Thinking about it this way, at least Boss Cheng didn't say big things, there are really good things. It can be regarded as a bloody investment, in order to pit himself, he actually took out such a rare object?

If it is intact, such as the tip of the tooth, this tooth alone can be worth two or three hundred thousand.

Secretly sighing, Li Dingan pointed to the box: "Boss Cheng, what do you think!" ”

"Simple, Mr. Li will give you an estimate first!" Boss Cheng looked very relaxed, "Tell me again, who has used it!" ”

Li Dingan was stunned, and shook his head helplessly: Here you are again?

You might as well just let me say which tiger it pulled out of its mouth.

Secretly slandering, he raised his head and took a look, his eyes lit up again: "Boss Cheng, look behind you: are they two beauties?" ”

Boss Cheng subconsciously turned around: There are indeed two girls standing behind him, both of them are quite young and beautiful, and they are indeed beauties.

But what does it have to do with him?

He looked dazed: "What do you mean?" ”

"Tell me, what is their name, how old they are, where are they, who are her parents and what are they doing here?"

"Teacher Li doesn't know what he is talking about, I don't know anything, how can I know?"

"It's Boss Cheng, you are first!"

Li Ding'an lit a cigarette pot, "This thing has no words, two has no paragraph, and three has no ornamentation, just a bone and a cigarette pot mouthpiece, you come up and ask me who has used it, how can I know?" ”

"Aren't you an expert?"

Li Dingan spread his hands: "Don't talk about experts, he can't do it even if he is an immortal?" ”

"Coaxed", and the onlookers laughed again.

Qian Jinyu and Jiang Lingyu also pursed their lips and laughed, and the little girl also pointed to the mobile phone on her chest. Li Dingan nodded again, meaning that he could broadcast as much as he wanted.

Knowing that Li Ding'an would not be fooled, Boss Cheng didn't care: "Then Mr. Li, what can you watch?" ”

Li Dingan sighed: "Boss Cheng, it's okay to look at the material, it's okay to break the year, or just estimate the price, or you let me tell me the origin of this thing, it's not impossible." If you want to ask me again where I made it, and who used it, I'm sorry, I really don't have the ability! ”

"What is the material of this thing, what is the origin, and what is it used to see? But who has long eyes can't see? But since Mr. Li has said so, it is not impossible for you to estimate the broken year...... But let's talk about it first, if you miss 20 years, you will lose! ”

Boss Cheng leaned back slowly, "And someone has made a bid, and my friend didn't sell 300,000 yuan." We can't wait for any charity auctions, Mr. Li, if you want to see it, we won't ask for much, you can take 300,000 yuan on the spot......"

After a pause, he patted the bag in his arms again: "Don't think about it like the previous fossil, how much identification fees will be paid to me, the things have already been found to be seen clearly, and I have all the information, we can ......verify it on the spot."

Learned smart?

The onlookers began to laugh again, and Li Dingan also laughed: It seems that Boss Cheng is still very sober.

Turning his thoughts, he picked up his things.

It is very heavy, the bone is very dense, the gloss is very full, and there are no traces of polishing on the surface, whether it is tooth lines, bone ridges, or blood grooves, it is very natural, at least it means that it looks like this, not a synthetic product such as tooth powder pressing,

The silver is very old, and both the color and the toning seem to have been formed naturally, rather than being worn.

There is also the residual smoke and dirt at the bottom of the smoke pot and in the hole of the cigarette holder, which has long been integrated with the thing itself, and it can't be picked off. It shows that this thing is indeed quite old, and it is 180 years old.

Take a closer look: the smoke pot is a little small, the whole is the size of the index finger nail, and the inside of the pot bucket is even smaller, which will be able to put a soybean. If you look inside, you can see that there are many scratches on the inner wall of the pot bucket, like the marks of digging with a needle and spoon.

Seeing this, it is not difficult to guess the specific use of this thing, if you give a conclusion, it is roughly: the late Qing Dynasty princes and nobles used to smoke Fushou tobacco paste silver-inlaid tiger tooth smoke pot. There should also be white fungus and silver needles in the matching, which is estimated to be lost.

Li Dingan always felt that it was not so simple: if it was really so easy to distinguish something, it didn't seem to be worth Boss Cheng's effort to let his friends send it so far away, and he did so much foreshadowing?

If you want to talk about the problem, there are indeed some problems: such as too big teeth. Like the common domestic tiger teeth, most of them are Bengal tigers, which are generally only half the size. Even if it is the largest Siberian tiger, there are not many tiger teeth more than ten centimeters, and it must be the upper teeth of an adult tiger.

But this one is a bit outrageous, counting the cusps of the teeth, it should be at least fourteen or fifteen centimeters.

It is not a tiger, but none of the characteristics do not match: one bone ridge, two blood grooves, and a spiral of tooth lines.

Among all cats, dogs, and even bears, tigers have the largest and longest teeth, brown bears are second, lions can only rank third, and leopards and the like are even smaller.

And it's definitely not carved with ivory or large fish teeth...... Li Ding'an still has this eyesight.

I felt stuck for a while, but with my eyesight, there seemed to be nothing wrong with this thing. But if you want to talk about intuition, there is definitely a pitfall.

Think about what Boss Cheng came here for, if there is nothing wrong with it, it may not be here.

After thinking about it, he still didn't open the system after all: the points are not said to be there, and there are still great uses in the back, and it is best to save them.

Besides, after such a long period of hard work, I am in the library and looking up information, why don't I need to learn?

was thinking about it, but Boss Cheng was a little impatient at first:

"Mr. Li, just let you look at the material, the broken year, and then estimate the valuation, you have to look at it for so long? You're not sure, why don't we get another one? And there are so many experts next to it, it's not impossible for you to ask for advice, let's admit it! ”

"You don't need to ask an expert, just ask." Someone next to him coaxed, "Inlaid with silver tiger tooth smoke pot, late Qing Dynasty, look at the details: smoke a lot!" ”

Someone next to him laughed: "It's really similar, and it's basically true at first sight, but such a big tiger tooth is indeed rare!" ”

"It's not a big deal, he should suspect that there are other pitfalls in this"

"The structure is so simple, almost at a glance, what can be the pitfall? I think this expert Li is too careful! ”

"Be careful, otherwise a small negligence, 300,000 will be gone!"

The discussion on the side continued, and Li Dingan didn't care, just smiled and looked at Boss Cheng again.

I don't know if he smiled too strangely, Boss Cheng's eyes subconsciously floated.

Look, you know there's a problem?

Otherwise, what are you hiding, and let me find someone to ask for advice, I'm afraid it's not deliberately misleading, right?

Li Ding'an is even more certain: there is something wrong with things.

There must be no outside, just like the guest just said, the structure is so simple, a cigarette pot, a cigarette mouth, and a drilled tiger tooth in the middle, at a glance.

So if there is a problem, it can only be inside......

Well...... Inside?

There seemed to be a bright light flashing in his mind, Li Dingan stretched out his hand, pulled the tool box on the table, and took out a needle.

Instinctively, Boss Cheng's expression paused slightly, and the three companions behind him also subconsciously looked at each other. But no one squeaked, just quietly watched Li Ding'an operate.

The needle is very thin and quite long, Li Dingan held one end, poked the tip of the needle from the side of the cigarette, and turned it while poking it back.

At first, it was very smooth, and there was a slight feeling of stumbling, indicating that the hole in the middle of the dental tube was not too silky. It's just handiwork, understandably. But as he turned around, his hand paused slightly, and he felt like the tip of the needle was stuck in some gap.

Looking at it again, the needle of nearly fifteen centimeters, there is only a needle butt left in the hand, calculate the length, and the position where the needle tip is stuck is exactly the place where the smoke pot and the tiger tooth are linked.

Suddenly, Li Dingan had a rough judgment, but he remained silent and began to poke again. It took seven or eight stabs before the steel needle was pulled out: there was something black stuck to the tip of the needle.

If you look closely, isn't this thing soot?

In addition, the tip of the needle is slightly brighter, like oil or something.

Ha ha...... E-liquid?

If it was an old object more than a hundred years ago, how could it be poked down. Just like the layer on the cigarette holder of the smoke pot, it is tighter than rust, not to mention stabbing it with a needle, and it may not be scraped off with a knife.

To be on the safe side, he twisted a little on his fingers and sniffed it under his nose. The more I smelled, the brighter my eyes became, and at the end, the "ha" laughed out loud.

Isn't it e-liquid?

"It's hard for Boss Cheng, it's painstaking!"

He sighed and put the smoking pot on the table: "Let's just say that who is so arrogant and takes such a long and thick tiger tooth to make a smoking pot...... It turns out that the tooth is broken? ”

"What you say is broken......"

The person who sent the things over was immediately unhappy, but before he finished speaking, he was stopped back by Boss Cheng: Broken or not, they don't know better than anyone?

As long as the smoke pot is broken, anyone with long eyes can see it.

He nodded: "What else?" ”

"Smoke pots and cigarette mouths are all old objects, at least before the Republic of China. Including the layer of smoke and dirt, the shortest is hundreds of years old, and nine times out of ten it is big smoke...... But it's not! ”

Li Dingan pushed forward the needle that had pierced the tooth tube: "This is ordinary tar, which means that some time ago there were people who smoked with this thing, and what they smoked was ordinary paper cigarettes......"

Boss Cheng narrowed his eyes: "What does Teacher Li mean, why don't you understand?" ”

He smiled lightly: "Boss Cheng can actually still understand, but it doesn't matter, I'll be a little more detailed: this tiger tooth should have been an ornament before, and it must have been absent for hundreds of years, and it should be about the same for twenty or thirty years, but I don't know why it was broken." And the most valuable thing about the tiger teeth is the tip of the tooth, once the tip of the tooth is broken, it can be worth two or three hundred thousand, and it is estimated that no one wants one hundred thousand.

In the spirit of waste utilization, the thick end was made into a cigarette mouth, not to mention, it is quite chic, and it has been used for a long time. Later, it may be a coincidence, I came across a silver smoking set that is a little old, and then I had an idea, sawed off the smoke pot and cigarette nozzle, and installed it on the tiger teeth......

I also have to say that the people who made this thing put a lot of thought into it: bone glue was used for bonding, and even the grouting was made of smoke and slurry scraped off the old smoking set, and no chemical materials were used, let alone in a hurry to make it old, but it was naturally dried and exposed to the sun...... So I don't see the slightest hint of modernity.

In this way, this thing has become an old object with a history of hundreds of years, and at first glance: good guy, smoking a big cigarette with tiger teeth, at least it has to be a prince...... It's a pity that the flaws on the outside are easy to make up, but not on the inside, at least there is no way to stick the old cigarette dirt into the tooth tube......"

Boss Cheng lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking, and the other three looked at each other, as if to say: Can you guess this?

Therefore, the people who eat melons will also know: nine times out of ten, this is the truth.

At first thought, it feels quite simple: isn't this just the same technique as the new bottle in the porcelain and the famous painting in the calligraphy and painting?

But if you think about it, it's not the same thing!

Not to mention that the main value of porcelain and calligraphy and painting is the brand effect, how carefully buyers will see, just say that the technical content required by the two is not at the same level at all.

The first two are welding, sticking, adding glaze and re-firing, filling ink and color, not to mention the complexity of the process. But how simple is this thing: saw, fight, and you're done.

The silver-inlaid smoke pot and cigarette holder are old, the tiger teeth are old, the cigarette scale is also old, and even the gaps are filled with old pulp powder, how do you recognize it?

is not an exaggeration, and he knows that Boss Cheng is not good, Li Dingan has a heart. If this was sent by an ordinary Tibetan friend, he would have to be eyed nine times out of ten.

Secretly sighed, he nodded to the table again: "Boss Cheng, I'm right!" ”

"Awesome...... Well deserved the name! ”

Boss Cheng gave a thumbs up, "What about the conclusion?" ”

This is a four-like, what other conclusions do you want?

Understood, or not give up.

Li Dingan thought for a while, and sighed again: "Boss Cheng, if you have to ask me to estimate it, I'm sorry, I can't estimate it!" ”

"Why?"

"Because this thing doesn't have to be a tiger tooth!"

Everyone was stunned: What the hell?
