GT&F Cecina - Anyone Recognize This?

[joeman]

Look at this beast. Obviously made for a shop, or some kind of display many years ago. Shown here with a standard sized bent....

Anyone recognize "GT&F / Cecina"? Pipedia, Pipephil and Google searches have turned up squat. Here's a better image of the ONLY stamping:

I'm thinking of buying it just for a display piece in the man room.

Godzilla? I can’t help with information but that’s very cool.

I really wasn't assuming I'd get an answer on this one; I've seen tons of pipes and have never heard of this maker. And no, it's not a photoshop fake...this pipe really is a gigantic heavyweight, being shared with me by a gent that I've bought about $1,500 worth of estate pipes from. Turns out I won't be buying it, as the owner he represents is thinking he'll get a premium price for it. If I owned a pipe shop, I'd offer a lot more than I did.

Ask to try it out, and let us know how you enjoy smoking an entire quarter pound of baccy in one sitting ::

Bradly has one of these as his after dinner smoker.
