Medico V.F.Q. Estate Pipe - Nice Little Find

[metalheadycigarguy]

Found this nice little Medico V.F.Q. bulldog with a Cumberland stem on ebay the other day. Overall its in pretty good shape. Just needed a little TLC. I've been able to date this pipe as being made sometime from the early 1930's up to 1965. Medico pipes began being made in the early 1930's when the Medico pipe filters were introduced by the Sam M. Frank Company. In 1966 the V.F.Q. line began being made from Brylon and was no longer made from imported briar like this one. I still need to send it off to a friend so he can give it a good wax and buff but for the moment it looks pretty good. Smokes great too!

That's a great find. I'm sure it will be quite a looker when you get it back. Good luck with it.

Nice find. A cumberland stem as well. Bonus.

I really like the older Briar VFQ's. The stem is nylon, which is really comfortable, and durable. Congrats on a great find sir.

Well I was looking for a 1930's era Kaywoodie Super Grain when I stumbled across this one. I'm pretty pleased and after a good wax and buff it will look really good. Smokes great so far so I'm very pleased.
