A neighbor lady gave me this pipe about a year ago and told me she didn't know anything about it. She told me it was in a box of stuff she bought at the yard sale. I assumed it was a souvenir pipe and just stuck it in a drawer. Part of the reason I assumed it was a souvenir pipe is because it has never been smoked. On a whim I pulled it out of the drawer and smoked a couple bowls out of it. I was surprised to discover that it's a great smoker. I also don't have any other pipe that looks like this with the built-in wind cap. I know it's not worth a lot of money, but I am curious if anyone knows anything about it. the only stamp on the pipe says Bruyere and Garanite underneath. Any info would be greatly appreciated.IMG_0562.jpegIMG_0563.jpeg

I think what xrundog said is probably the most info you'll find on it since it doesn't have any more distinct markings. It looks like it's in great shape and I'm glad it's a good smoker and that it's being smoked rather than being kept as a souvenir or display piece. Have you unscrewed the bottom plug?

Yes. Do you have any idea why that plug is there?

Take the plug out every smoke or two and swab it with a q-tip. There’s a lot of places to trap crud on that pipe. You should probably disassemble the stem and extension and clean those and the shank while you’re at it. I expect it all unscrews.
I’ve been trying to get something similar for awhile. I always get outbid. I guess they have a following.
