Oh yeah I know. I am constantly looking at them. Haven’t pulled the trigger yet. Waiting for the right straight Bulldog.

I don't like new Grabows and I love Kaywoodies.
Grabow use to make it... it was the Royalton Bulldog. Now, it seems they have stopped with that particular design for whatever reason.
You can order it from them via mailorder. Everything the company does is through mail-order. Unless you find a retailor.
I have a Royalton slighty bent bulldog. They are nice. Ive had mine a few years. Didnt know they stopped making them.
The one I desperately want is a limited edition so it isn’t going to come up and if it ever did I probably couldn’t justify the cost. It’s the Brigham Centennial pipe.
I’ve had my eye out for the perfect meerschaum straight bulldog for awhile.
@mso489 would speak of them often. I started looking for them a few years ago and it looked like most new sources had dried up. I read that perhaps the talented craftsmen who made them aged out. They were some of their best pipes.
Sorry!There's a particular finish of very early KW I'm always seeking, they don't come up near as often as others and they're starting to bring more and more money.I've collected them for years, but they're starting to get cost prohibitive.
Im pretty sure your talking about this one?
If you find two, buy both, I'll pay you back... I'm good for it.Cross my heart, if I ever see two I'll let you know!
Kidding, of course!
Hilson is to Big Ben as GMC is to Chevy, right? Both are "Royal Dutch" pipes, branded differently, right?

As l recall l got it from WVsmokeshop. They have or did have quite a few Grabows.
My bad! I meant Big Ben. My brain confused the two Bens. But thanks for pointing out my lapse in coherence in time for me to make the edit.
I search about once a week for the other two pipes of the set of four that Tsuge released in the early 2000's. It's something to do.
Tsuge Shiki Series. Named for the four seasons. I have Natsu (Summer) and Haru (Spring). If anyone out there has an Aki (Fall) or a Fuyu (Winter) that they're willing to part with, PM me, please!
