    Peterson : No Love for Canadians?

    Walter Pidgeon Cob

    Calling on our resident Cob Wizards. Came across this photograph of Walter Pidgeon and fell in love with the cob. The shank reminded me of Tom Eltang's Arne Jacobson with semi-translucent shank extension. The bowl seems like the Rob Roy cob, a taller version is also used in the Elf Cobbit pipe...
