I did a search for you. If I'm not mistaken, they call that style of pipe a "Bullmoose Rhodesian" or, basically, a very squat Rhodesian pipe. Unfortunately, I could not find an exact match for you. I've only seen several bullmoose pipes and none that looked similar to the one in your picture.
The absolute closest I could find is this: Savinelli Tignanello Smooth Pipe #624 Bent Rhodesian
It's nowhere near an exact match, but it's a partial bend with a squat profile and a flat bit. It's also a bulldog (square shank). Not sure why Cup o' Joes has it listed as a Rhodesian (round shank). 8O
Anyway, sorry I couldn't help all that much. Good luck in your search.

I'm not sure if Jake Hackert, Mark Balkovec or Mark Tinksy are taking custom orders
at this time but worth a shot asking them as I'm sure they could make one
up easily enough for you ;-)

I know what you mean, mattmars.
I wasn't sure about the shape of my bent apple when I first saw it, but as soon as I held it in my hand I knew it just belonged there.
Yeah that is a very stylized Rhodesian. Very short, squat, stubby and chunky. I know I have seen that same shape somewhere but I can't think of where. My memory says Brebbia or GBD but I have a memory like a sieve.
@ Philip: How do you like those Design Berlin pipes. I have eyeballed them a time or 2 but never knew anyone who owned one. Also, It's great to see another Philip that spells his name with 1 l = )

Why do children start at different reading levels?
Why do some people prefer winter over summer?
Why do bees fly into my office window constantly?
Why you trollin' bigvan?
Not trolling, just trying to get more information. Is it the grain? The saddle stem? The shorter than normal length? The single channel around the bowl rather than the more common bead? Is it by a particular maker? All are descriptors that if known, I can keep my eye out for.
I've traded tobacco with mattmars in the past so I'm pretty sure he realizes the intent of my question. But apparently you didn't.

Reviving this. I think I have figured out what the pipe I want might be. I figured that the rest of the pipes in the collection the guy had were Kaywoodies, I looked at the Kaywoodie catalog from the late '50s to early '60s and saw http://pipepages.com/kwg-oversize#1. I believe it may be the John Henry or Colossus. Now to just find one for sale and I'll be set!
This is sorta close. This was my great grandfathers. It's around 57 years old I think. Maker is Courtley
