I got this #232 Big Boy in the late 1970's from a friend who's father was a pipe smoker. Other than it was made in the USA I can't find any info about the brand. Is anyone familiar with it?

Just from the profile and stem, it looks like a Dr. Grabow, what is now marketed as a Big Pipe, but it

seems unlikely that Dr. Grabow would sell a pipe without its stamp unless it were done for some

other company. The only Big Boy outfit I know of is a burger chain, but that seems like an unlikely

outlet for tobacco pipes. I see a stamp on the stem, but I assume that just says, "Big Boy," though

I can't read it. But that stem has definite Dr. Grabow resemblances.
