While we were out of town over the holidays, my lady and I visited our fair share of antique stores. The #1 thing I was looking for was a pipe rack.
After the 33rd store... as we were heading home, we stopped in ONE more antique shop. They had 5 pipe racks! I grabbed the one pictured. It holds 8 pipes and has some pheasants on it etc.
The INTERESTING part is that there was an unopened, sealed packed of tobacco. I believe it is cigarette tobacco.
It's from the LIGGETT and MEYERS company. L&M Cigarettes, Velvet Pipe Tobacco etc... They were once the 4th largest tobacco company in the USA.
Have I found anything cool here?
Does anyone collect this stuff?
I doubt it's smokable ;-)
The rolling paper and most of the orginal packaging is in tact.
I'll post pics.
Thank you, Geoff
