New Old Stock Vintage Dr. Grabow Omega w/ Carved Leaf in Bowl

[jiujitsubowl]

Check out this guy. Got it from and estate sale on ebay. Its a second (double stamped omega and dr. grabow). It sat in the office of a Dr. Grabow employee for many years. Unsmoked, and contains a cool tobacco leaf carved into it. Any more info on these? Shes a great smoker, plip style stem, and army mounted.

The leaf was carved to cover-up a flaw in the briar. There was a link in one of the threads to a video that showed them doing the carving and explained why they did it. I could not find the thread.

Some of my best smokers have been NOS Grabow Savoys and Royal Dukes. In my experience, the older the Grabow, the better the overall quality.

The Omega's are still made today. Good pipes. Some like the P-lip style stem,some don't. I don't and have modified the stems of the Omega's I have.
