Like many of you who are stuck at home, I've been doing a bit of organizing and getting back to doing some pipe restorations that I otherwise wouldn't have much time for.
I'll sometimes buy a "lot" of many pipes because I'm interested in one of them, without much regard for whatever else might come in the basket. I was putting together these pipes, considering donating them or selling them on eBay since they're not a priority in terms of restoration (I've got another 17 waiting for attention).
This pipe here caught my attention. I had no idea what it was until I looked it up this morning. It's a first-generation Linkman's Dr. Grabow. The stampings are identical to the one on Pipephil (with the exception of the 4-digit model number). Propeller logo on the stem, 'Pat.No., 1896800,' and "De Luxe" over "Bruyere."
I was a neat find. A little bit beat up--just a little--but still very cool.
