I believe this is a WF. The stem was in pretty bad shape, and the bowl was so caked a tamper wouldn't fit, also the bowl rim was badly burned. There were markings on the stem that we're very faint, no paint or fill, but I could make out the letters "SQU"

The second is kind of an interesting shaped smaller pipe. I believe it's shape is called a "Ski" pipe.

Thanks! I went back and forth in my head about sanding the stem... Knowing the stem letters that were there would be gone forever... But, I think I made the right call.

Yea, I don't know if it came from WF like that or if it was done after. The only other ski pipe from WF I've seen was in a 1949 catalog and it looked smooth.
