Toke Bongs?

Here's a bong that I've had for about 10 years. I bought it from an old stoner guy that I used to hang out with back then. It used to have a standard metal bowl, and it also came with a fairly large wooden bowl that you could screw on. The first two bowls were ok but I went out and got a glass bowl for it instead. The silver tag on the top used to say Double Bubble, but the letters wore off years ago. I've only seen one other bong similar to this one and it was also a Toke bong. The thing is, I can't find any information on the net about these bongs. I've done google searches and they all come up dry. Has anyone else ever seen one of these before?


 Here's the tag that came with it. It's gotta be from the 70's or 80's because I haven't heard the term "clean your stash" in a long time.

Its nice to see that things like your bong survives. I remember that paper tag on the bongs in the late 70,s,

I just bought me my first decent bong last week...I was careless, and stepped on the bowl already, so I need to buy a replacement. They aren't but, like, 10.00 generally anyways, aren't they?
Anyways, here is is ~

Toke International. I believe they had a slogan like 'Toys for the Mind'. Takes me way back to the 70's. I had an Enterprise...it was blue and had a custom fitted handle and a 3 segmented stash tray. The ultimate bong. I still have that little tag too! The bong was broken years ago. I remember I smoked my first Hawaiian bud in it. Boy was that a taste experience. I had also fitted it with a revolving 6 one hit thingy. They don't make em like they used to. Another brand from the 70's was Glass Head. They made really nice hand blown stuff and no color changing gaudy stuff like is the norm for most glass today, just pure clear glass.

they aren't illegal, they just have to be called something different and sold for tobacco or ornamental purposes.
