Bauer and BlacK SUSPENSORIES....are still being sold! I had to do a search just out of curiosity. Listed sizes: Small to X-tra Large. Ummm....Doesn't explain how to take measurements. I'm guessing...maybe the angle of the dangle...ah, never mind.
Just hilarious!

That was when $5 was a serious piece of cash. Some people probably covered their weekly grocery bill with that. Also, it was a golden age of pipes.

Health insurance for $0.03 per day per adult, $0.015 per day for each child! Less than $44 per year to insure my family ...

@DaveG - I didn't know that Whitehall pipes were made in Wheeling WV!

Pre-smoked pipes, cool, thanks for sharing this with us

@Al
The early Whitehall's were decent quality. Then the name was bought and sold many times, ending up on some real junkers. I've been trying to find more info about the WV made Whitehall's but there's almost nothing online about it. I was thinking of just driving up one boring day to start asking the old timers questions. Lol.

Pre-smoked. Needs no breaking in. I guess they were technically “used” pipes smoked by machines.
