Picked up this Grabow, had huge crack in it that I fixed. Anybody have any clue when this pipe may have been made? Thanks for any help in advance!

Thank you sir! That’s about all I could dig up also. Didn’t know if maybe the font style or stinger design could narrow it down a little further. I was just curious, it smokes pretty damn good
Yessir! I’m no professional but at least it’s smokable now, was a huge gaping hole all the way through
Hell yeah! This one was given to me by a buddy, belonged to his dad who passed away. Figured the least I could do is make it smokable again and give it a new life
I think the split had run too far up from the stem and was pretty wide. Plus it has the Grabow female threaded insert pressed in it. A little miracle putty, toothpick and stain......good enough for this guy!
I understand. I have an estate pipe that has had a very hard life and the rim is gone. Also a Dr.Grabow. Rustication is almost smooth and double carved bands are worn down. It is just a mess. It deserves a retirement in my pipe drawer.
