A Gift from My Father About 50 Years Ago

[slrichman]

A Danish-made Celius Root Knight 13. Billiant smoker!

Cool way to trigger memories of your father. I wear my dad's wristwatch to all important family events and I think about him every time I put it on.

A cherished keepsake for sure. Protect and love that pipe.

Like Craig, I also wear my father's Omega "Moon Watch".

That's a fine pipe, a Danish classic of design. It's spare and yet has the freehand expansiveness.

Nice pipe. Give it care.

I’ve got my Grandfather’s pipes. Though I think he smoked the Dr. Grabow and Peterson more often, one turned out to be a ‘58 Dunhill, my birth year.

Wonderful all around. A tiny bit of wax and some elbow grease will make that baby glow!

Lovely pipe! Is it smoked often? Or is it more of a special occasion smoked pipe?

Yes! ::

What a wonderful memory. Those Celius pipes were very highly regarded in that era.

 

[slrichman]

I do not save it for special occasions. It's too special for that.

Beautiful & simple; I'm more a fan of the louder Danish designs, but that one is understated but different enough to get people's attention.
@craiginthecorn -- I know just what you mean. My dad wasn't a pipe smoker, but I wear his Rolex (self-wind, no quartz back in those days) every day. A regular reminder of all I owe him, music, movies, culture, everything in my life.

Great to have such a keepsake. I have one of my grandpa's pipes; probably his least favorite, but to me it means so much.

What a cool keepsake from your father, and it looks great too.
