I bought this from a sale site on Facebook. When I picked it up I found the pipe on the back. I can't find much information on it other than it was made in 1977, possibly rare,
Capt. Hawks sky patrol and novelty company
I believe it is brass but I am not sure.
Any information about this buckle would be appreciated

They probably couldn't list it showing the pipe because of the laws on paraphernalia.
Top link works, many on internet
"Top link"?
I looked around too. Yours looks to be a buckle made specifically for stashing a pipe. The ones on ebay lack the detail and do not hold the stash pipe. I'd say you have a very nice piece. Congrats.
DizzyDave- that second link is totally a repro! LOL - you could smoke out of that - but people would be going 'I smell skunk' everywhere you went!
They also had a Mad Hatter pipe buckle.

Celiene, half my friends wouldn't notice the "skunk" smell.
