Well I got some brass tags that were used as tool room tokens at the Power Plant I used to work at, and found a new piece to solder for the lipstop to go into, it is a garden hose adapter that has pipe threads on one end and the garden hose on the other.

I drilled out the adapter on the pipe thread end, removed the area for the lipstop then I filed the half moon shape into the pipe thread attachment.....then soldered the two pieces, tube and attachment together, put them in the lathe and squared them up, then placed the tag in the half moon area and soldered it in place...then I put it back in the lathe and rounded it off and the polished it on my polish wheel......

after that I drilled the hole in the tube for the lanyard to go in and cut the groove for the O-Ring to go in, then re-polished it and put the latex reed on it and the lanyard.....and believe it or not it has a pile of turkey in it.....I think this is gonna be the style for the all brass tube call.
