Description

Novelty lip-shaped keychain with internal compartment, branded to Cliff Lennie Pipe Handlers. Fob: A novelty, lip-shaped keychain ornament, with two parts which open to reveal an internal cavity for storage. Enclosed in this item is a plastic-wrapped parcel of an unidentified rubbery object. Side A of the fob is smooth and has the printed silver text of "WE PROTECT YOUR "PIPE"" in sans serif at the middle-top, and "Cliff Lennie Pipe Handlers" in highly stylised block text below. Side B is molded to for a set of lips. On the left is a molded loop through which the keyring is attached. The fob's seam runs around the outer edge, with a crescent cut-out on the bottom-right which can be used to separate the parts. The internal cavity reflects the shape of the corresponding outside, with the addition of the raised text on the middle-inside of the Side A: "highlow. BES. BESCH; IDEE+DESIGN Karsten Büntzow". Internal Element: A small plastic-wrapped parcel, with zig-zag edges, and a blue over logo with the text inside "Ritex" patterned across the surface. The brand is a manufacturer of condoms and lubricants. Inside appears to be a red-coloured rubber-like object, likely a condom based on the brand of the packaging. It appears to be in the shape of a set of lips. On one side is printed the red serial number "002600194" Keyring: Split ring, round, black-colouring, 25mm diameter, 2.5mm thickness. Old Description (Kelsey Steil, 5/24/2022): Red keychain shaped like a pair of lips. Silver text on one side reads: We Protect / Your "Pipe" / Cliff Lennie Pipe Handlers. The lips are a case that opens. Inside is a Ritex condom.
