Greetings! I have a pipe possibly from a similar era -- it also says "GBD" on the side of the stem. What does this mean? I also have a similar four digit number. On the flat base (which is awesome because I can stand it up without a stand) it reads: GBD Prehistoric. London England 9436. I also find it interesting that it has a clear stem. I have included a couple pictures. I paid $5 for it.
I also found this pipe stand with old decaying pipes included. Don't know anything about it, but they all have tiny bowls and are falling apart. I paid $3.75 for the entire thing just because I thought they were a neat conversation piece.
Lastly, I found this neat pipe stand complete with "humidor jar" and original little paper instructions. Paid...I think $35 at an antique store. Just thought I'd show off a bit since my friend, Tyler posted his new find! I would love any information on any of this if anyone is knowledgeable. My pics are big, so I'll just attach links.
