bubbadreier, interesting info thanks for sharing. I like the color of the spade on that model. So are these pipes from the 80's, 70's or so or even earlier? One thing I just wished was dealers in general gave Grabows a little more respect and told the buyer what shapes they have available, I know it's a PIA for them but it would help them in the long run, specifics lead to purchases.
Speaking of Grabows,I just picked up an unsmoked White Billard shaped Grabow, adjustomatic. I dont know why but I'm a sucker for a white briar pipe, eventhough I know they were complete marketing gimmicks during their day.
I think it has something to do with these awesome Kaywoodie Ads. Needless to say it's my holiday pipe, I plan on smoking seasonal aromatics in it for many Christmas's to come.
