Nice acquisition Durham. Hope she is a good smoker for you even with that aluminum fitment. That's definitely one of the earlier Grabows that I have seen and it looks to be all original. Back in the 50's that type of rustication was popular.
The rustication was factory done. Linkmans made a lot more smooth pipes than rusticated and they ( the rusticated pipes) are not very common. I've never seen a rusticated Linkmans Canadian. I have somewhere in the area of 70 Linkmans and maybe a dozen are rusticated. It seems( to me) they made more rusticated pipes during the WW2 era,possibly because a lot of the WW2 era pipes were made of Mt. Laurel.
FYI, the patent,if you didn't already know, is for the stinger. Nice pipe!
I'm green with envy!!!
Thanks for sharing all the information ejames! It is a nice pipe and smokes great. I normally remove those stingers but this one has a nice draw even with it attached.
I was reading about the patent being for the stinger model.
:::1932, April 13th, Linkman applies for his spoon/tool/nicotine-saliva trap stinger, Patent #1896800:::
Sweet Grabow, congrats sir. I have a Linkman's Zulu with that rustication which is also a wonderful smoking pipe. I really like that Canadian.
