So I've had this pipe for a few years and I could never figure out what the nomenclature said. Today, I took a zoomed in pic and it says E. Wilke N.Y.C. I started googling around for pics of E. Wilkes pipes, stamping and such but I didn't see a shape like this one. The only lead I have is from a Google forum that mentions an Italian gentlemen by the name of Joe Cortegani who apparently used to carve art deco shapes for E. Wilke. It's definetly a Wilke pipe and I would call that an art deco shape. Does anyone know what year this pipe was made? Do I have what I think I have? The grain is nice and the paneled shape is interesting. I'm going to try one photo first to see if it works for me.
