It rests on your chin.
Haha that part really “stuck out” for me. What a crazy-straw stem shape, interesting idea though, I wonder if it’d leave an indent in your face after a while?

Super cool find, and thank you for sharing!

Now who can post a picture of their chin rester pipe? It looks like an accident with the heat gun!

KBB did them in Kaywoodies and Yellow Boles. I think other mfrs did too, but could be wrong.

Weirdly shaped "specialty" stems still exist.

This Dunhill is recent(ish) production, and its owner loves how it lets him smoke while looking through a binocular-like film editing machine for extended periods.

Love old ads. Especially when they advertise pipes!

Old pipe ads are interesting especially if there is a good correlation with pipes you own

Here are a couple of French made Fieux Leduc et Cie pipes - one from 1921 and the other from 1922
The silverware is English

The chinrester was aimed at pipers with weak teeth.
