Howdy Folks; Greetings from balmy Calgary Alberta.
I acquired a batch of pipes about a year ago (about the same time I joined the forum), and they were in 'original' condition, so I decided I'd start to clean, repair and/or restore them. I've smoked a pipe for over 40 years, so I have a very rough idea about most brands. However this one has left me scratching my head.
When I was younger (I'm 68), I remember seeing tins of City Club tobacco, however I can't find 'Squat' on any pipes that were associated with either the tobacco retailer or any manufacturer. the pipe smokes really well (after I pulled the stinger), and it's got a threaded stem/shank connection, which has pros and cons, but nothing insurmountable. However, I'm wondering if any of our keepers of our pipe history have any idea of this particular brand's history...
I'm purely perplexed... I've searched all over the web.... and 'NADA'... no info,....no where. So, any inkling would be humbly appreciated with all thanks.
