G. Graphics was my brother Todd's company. He passed on in 2014 from brain cancer. You can see more about G.Graphics and the inventor of the G.Graphics bong by going to Todd's web site http://sundayswithtodd.com
I am extremely interested!!! I use to order 12 at a time and sell them in high school. Had an orange 2 footer and a burgundy 2 footer with an extra piece called the piggyback. Also had the suede sack for them. Let me know if I can get my hands on one somehow. Thanks
But, chances are, you don't come into contact with these types of jackets very often. Truth be told, they are a thing of yore: the concept of the smoking jacket has been smoked out. website
I have an original G. Graphics bong (2' or 2 1/2'. I can't remember the sizes) brand new in box from the 1970's and a poster that was hanging up in my brother's room. I can't believe we never used it. Plenty of others though. I can be reached at jimbocochran@hotmail.com. I really don't use my gmail account. And that pic of me in a thong Speedo was a joke that now haunts me.
I contacted him on March 7th telling him that I was VERY interested in it. I still am. He sent one email in response saying he needed to locate it and would take a couple weeks. Since then I have sent him two emails over the last few weeks and no reply yet. Hoping he gets back to me either way as I had one gifted to me by a family of friends and it sadly ended up getting lost to the winds ages ago. Been looking to replace it ever since. Leads on replacements are fewer and further between with each passing year. Would love to find a replacement for my favorite piece of all time.
I am searching dimensions and material type of the original G. Graphics water bongs. What were the ID, OD and type of translucent plastic tubing? Heights were 1.5 feet, 2 feet, and 3 feet. Maybe poly carbonite or plexiglass, perhaps lexan. Plastic could not be shattered. I would like to try to recreate one for my own use.
I can personally attest that it is strong enough to withstand one's mother trying to smash it! :-) I can send OD and thickness. I think it's the same for all lengths.
Contact me if you need some info I have a hand written letter from Todd when I contacted him regarding a repair and he responded with info on the bong materials.
I worked for Todd as a part-time employee at G. Graphics back in the 70's while I was in college. My main responsibility was to lacquer the soup can used as the base.
I also ground the stationary steel tube that was glued to the main bong tube.
Todd had a rock band and most of the members of his band were full-time employees at the bong works.
super cool gb, you were involved in a noble enterprise indeed. They were the [Acapulco] gold standard! If you have any old memorabilia/devices and want to sell anything, please reach out (John_Peterson2@gmx.com)
Just for the record, the devices came in 18" & 24" sizes, while the piggyback was 24" also. I was able, after much effort, to obtain the VERY LAST BATCH of 12 devices from Todd, before shuttering the production facility. Amazingly, I still have a few of each size, UNUSED, available for you to purchase! I do have a piggyback for reference purposes, however, it is not for sale, yet can relatively easily be reproduced.
Feel free to email me if interested: Adamsmobileemailaddress@gmail.com
Hey Lezdam, I would be really interested in getting a copy of the letter you received from Todd (G Graphics). I have been collecting G Graphics memorabilia for years and would love to have a copy for my collection. Thanks!
If you're interested in selling any of your inventory (e.g., bong, slider, posters), let me know! I'll pay good coin and would love to find the old baseball bong stadium poster ("Three Hits and YOU're out!")
Just an update, having received countless requests to purchase my last remaining devices, I have opted to auction them off to give everyone a fair chance as much as I like rewarding the early bird, it's not like everyone who might appreciate one will ever even find this site, let alone in time to grab one. While I can not demand what you might do with it once yours, I sure hope they ALL stay unused for the sake of preserving for historical sake. I intend to see if the Smithsonian wants one for display in their 'counterculture' section as inappropriate as that term is for people of phenomenal culture.. I will post here as well as email everyone who reached out to me well in advance of my plans, hopefully this summer... Until then grab a bong four foot long fill it with bud can't go wrong seeds and stems I won't take! No shake! (Snowbud & The Flower People - mid 80s...)
I'm definitely interested. My 2 footer is in strong need of a sibling. It has served me well for >35 years! I love the idea of one going into a museum. I'd also love to find some of the old posters. I'm looking for the baseball one: "3 hits and you're out!" It'd be cool to find the graphic designer for the old graphics posters and get some reproductions going! If you're interested in selling any of these, I will pay top dollar (e-mail is John_Peterson2@gmx.com), but you should e-bay it and let the market speak! :-)
After much demand, I have finally dug out my remaining unused Professional G. Graphics Pleasure Delivery Devices for auction on eBay. While, I was hoping to give more advance notice, I will extend the Auction to last at least 1 week. I have much fewer survivors than I had hoped and they are missing their slider packs, however, fortunately, those are easier to replace and are available. I will try my best to find enough to include with each device. I have three (clear, red and purpleish blue) 18 inchers and one (different shade of purpleish blue) 24 incher. I might keep one of the 18s and possibly the 24, leaving only 2 or 3 at most to be sold. My desire to donate one to the Smithsonian still stands, so this upcoming auction might very well be the only one that I end up selling if if I end up keeping one of each and donate one to the Smithsonian). Once listed on eBay, I will post a link to the auction here. Get ready!!
told you about this blog the other day.

DeleteHow does one get in on the auction?
ReplyDeleteGreetings Everyone,
ReplyDeleteAfter much demand, I have finally dug out my remaining unused Professional G. Graphics Pleasure Delivery Devices for auction on eBay.

Sounds great Adam, thanks! I have a 24" yellow/orange one, and am definitely interested in 18" (red or blue) baby brother.
DeleteDid this happen???
