Can you identify this pipe?

No idea what it is. It could be a number of different brands with that type of shape. Unless they showed some kind of markings on the pipe in the picture, I think it will be very difficult to find out exactly which brand it is. It almost looks like a GBD Prehistoric but the stem would have GBD inside a gold circle on the left side.

Cant't really tell from the picture, but look closely at the bottom of where the stem joins the pipe - it doesn't quite match 100% smoothly - I actually wonder if it's a fairly cheap 'basket pipe' supplied by the Props Dept?
Given that "product placement" is big you'd think that pipe makers would be clamouring to have their pipes used, but you'd expect them to want their logo shown.
The other extreme is it might just be a Dunhill Shell, but it's that join that bothers me.
I could be well wrong though - I have been plenty of times before!

Wow, that's a real bummer. It would have been cool if they used something people could go out and buy with ease.
Hopefully the movie will help increase interest in pipe smoking though.

Great job pipedawg!!! I guess I will be contacting you for all of my mystery pipe questions. How did you ever find that out?

Well maybe Savinelli will bring it back out since the publicity from the movie.
