Gabi, here is mine. I am sure that you have seen it before, it is my estate sale purchase.....I absolutely love it, and am in complete awe of it's age. The lady who died in 2000 got it from her mother, and apparently a grandmother who had it before she was born.

Drum roll please - I purchased it for a mere $10.00, though there was about 4 hours of vine untangling, and rehab that went into getting it on the huge 6 foot tomato cage.

My vines at the base are not hollow, but they could pass for it, as they are sooooo woody that you would never think that they are viable. But then age isn't always kind.
