I am on the search for any info I can find on a pipe. I don't have the pipe, but I have the family stories.
My Great grandfather smoked a pipe a day for years and years, and he passed when I was 15 years old. The family talks about how he only smoked "bob white" pipes, and once drove across 3 states to pay a man 20 dollars for a pipe because it was a "bob white". He also had a little white parakeet that he trained to sit on the stem of his pipes, and he named the bird Bob as a tongue and cheek reference to his favorite pipes.
I think it would be really great to own at least one of these pipes, but I can't seem to turn up anything on it. The best I have is a broken stem from one of his pipes that for whatever reason my grandmother has kept in her junk drawer all these years. It seems to be in bad shape but I think there is a small image of a bob white quail on it as a pipe marking.
After doing some googling I found a picture on the forums from a few years ago, and I messaged the person who posted them but it seems that they are long gone.
Anyone know anything about these, or where I can find one?
