Nice Joe. That Van Roy is quite old. Does it have screw threads? I think I also see a LInkmans ##00 or ##06 in the upper left of the pic.

Sincityjeff,

It is a comoy's. They are not from Ebay. A friend at work who we use to worked together

for 18 yrs given them to me. They had cob webs and oxidation. cleaned with Scotch

and olive oil. I made a pipe and gave it to him. We swapped tobacco samples than that's

when he came out with the box. I still have 6 more to clean.

I am sure that I will get more cause he liked my " Greek Stew" mixture that i added

different tobaccos together. I will keep that 1# bag just for him.

" Greek Stew" ? Took my Greek grandmother 3 times to go through Ellis Island cause she was

sick at 3 years old. That is why I named it Greek Stew.

Joe " The Greek " Stewart"

ps Dad was a second generation Englishman.

The Van Roy was most likely made in the early thirties by the Van Roy company,before HLT bought them and Linkmans out and started using the Ajustomatic feature on the Dr. Grabows.
