Any Info??

Hi all, I'm so curious about this pipe, which I found many years ago, whilst cleaning out my parents house... has number 191 on it, box says made in England.
I'm very attached to it, and would like to know more about it. TIA and please forgive my ignorance..

Wow, thank you so much- I know nothing about pipes, and had no luck finding one similar to mine. So it is clay then?? It has been used, but I don't use a pipe anymore, so I won't try it...

Sure is. ?

Nothing wrong with that. I know some smokers that buy certain pipes just to look at and I know non smokers that collect pipes. As a family keepsake, yours is priceless.

Thank you for that, I'm stunned to see another that's identical to mine..
Cheers.. ??

Production ended? What a pity...
I really appreciate the input, I've had it since I was about 18 years old- middle aged now- but sure would love to know its story... there was another- it had a pirate looking man's head as the cup- LOL... my brother kept that one I think... I love foxes, so this one is kinda special to me...

I've always wanted to get a tattoo, but never did... a fox tattoo would be awesome! ??

That's a great looking clay pipe; shame they're no longer made:-(
A shame Wilson of Sharrow just up the road from me in Sheffield no longer make clay pipes or I'd probably be their biggest customer

Thank you so much, I think it's lovely too... I just wish I knew who brought it into the family, why and when...?
