It's marked as above on one side and with "Mac's Palo Alto" and 565 on the other. Stem has an "E" inside a circle that jives with Pipepedia and Pipephil.eu I've read that Emerson pipes were a Comoy's second. I'm guessing maybe it's from the late 20s or 30s because it has a freaky stinger and is a nicely made four square paneled pipe. Certainly has the look from that period and I've seen old Dunhill's that look similar from that time.
Picked it up in a junk shop quite cheap and think it will clean up nicely. Just like to know some history about it and my Google Fu has failed me utterly.
Thinking the Mac's Palo Alto was a shop stamp or maybe it was made on their behalf? Don't know, but if you do, please let me know!
Are Emerson pipes any good? Reputed to be decent smokers? Any value or collectible interest? (I'm not plugging the pipe and don't want to sell it, so that's not why I'm asking, more just curious as to what it is.). Just a fun bit of history to contemplate once it gets all cleaned up and something to ponder whilst smoking it. I'm most interested in the date it was made just for my own curiosity.
