    As long as you're not piping it on the Sabbath.
    I'd call it creatively ugly. I'm all for pipe bending, but it looks like this person came to the job with only pipes and valves, no fittings.

    Must be 1940s-50s. They did a lot of it during that time and during WWII fitting were in short supply.

    Hi, That "Y" at the bottom is interesting too! Wonder if it's homemade? All quite clean. Took some skill! :)

    Looks like it was all done with that punch that makes a flange in the side of the tube that you can then braze another tube in to.

    They still do it a lot in Europe, bending and T-Drill manifolds.

    It really should be six side branches, which are lit in the evening (one on the first day, two on the second, etc.) and one central flame, which is kept lit. But -- there are other perfectly acceptable traditions and nine branches, rather than seven, is not uncommon.

    Classic menorahs have 8 branches for the days of Hannukah and a 9th branch to hold the shammus, which is used to light the menorah candles. Nice work

    Different tradition -- depictions of the Temple menorah are seven. with the always lit centre. The nine branch one is more or less specific to Hannukah.

    It gets complicated. That's why you talk to a rabbi...
