Montage Friedlander Pipe

[craig61a]

I recently purchased this Montague Friedlander pipe from a member.

It’s on the large-ish side for a pipe of it’s age. (1904)

I like the shaping. There is some writing inside the bowl in ink, written with a nib. Only thing I can make out is a number “8”. Interesting piece of history.

I think this will be my dedicated Captain Black Grape ? pipe...?

Very nice!!

love how it seems like pipes from that time period came with cases. Probably a hold over from meers.

Too small a chamber for that. Larger more open chambers help it burn.

I believe most if not all the amber stemmed pipes of that era were cased; at least the ones I own are. Probably since the amber was so delicate, as was meerschaum.

that makes sense. And yet some pipe makers can't even include a complimentary pipe sock.

You bought an 80 year old pipe to smoke Captain Black Grape??

Hmmm... can't say I've run across that. Granted to have them made and printed with your logo/info would probably run a few hundred dollars in volume. Don Warren sells some nice flannel ones on his eBay/Etsy site for $5/ea.

2021-1904=117. And no, I was being facetious. This pipe will never be smoked by me. I know it might seem kind of ridiculous, kind of like buying an old rifle that has never been fired and not shooting it.

Aah, i didn't catch the smiley face at the end of the sentence.
