I enjoy the Jost's pipes made by Comoy and keep an eye out for them, although I don't yet own one. I came across this one and thought it was interesting and likely historically significant. The pipe itself seems to be clearly made by CPF as the shape and stem are the style they had that was reminiscent of Peterson, including the button device (similar to a 'P-lip'). The pipe has the CPF silver band with the well-documented faux hallmarks although this one is stamped "new silver." The pipe is stamped 'Jost' (not Jost's) and "imported briar" which suggests it was either re-sold by Jost or manufactured for Jost by CPF. I'm unsure when Jost began buying their pipes from Comoy but this raises the possibility that one of the earliest Jost pipes was manufactured in the United States for them by our beloved CPF (KB&B).
