Pipe in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

[metalheadycigarguy]

I originally thought the pipe in "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" was a Peterson system pipe, but was later informed it was a Wellington. I'm not really sure myself, but the consensus from other pipe smokers is that its a Wellington. Good luck on your search.
I'm a big fan of the Spaghetti Westerns and was looking for the longest time to find a meerschaum like Lee Van Cleef's. Very hard to find and took a while but this was as close as I got. Its only a half bent and not a full bent. I'm currently working on coloring it myself.

". Uberti, which is in Italy, makes the finest replica old western guns."
+1 on that. The closest to the actual Colt and the finest in quality.
It is hard to come up with a match on the meer.

Looks like Van Cleef also smoked a Ropp in at least one movie. His is smaller than mine and I have a pretty small example of the old cherrywood Ropps. Most that i have seen are pretty large.

^^ Whatever Lee is smoking, and or what pipe, it seems as though he is thoroughly it.

MetalHeadCigarGuy, that is a VERY nice Meer. Very nice. Elegant simplicity incarnate.

@huntertrw - I've seen those pipes before. I bought an unsmoked Meerschaum as I want to color my meerschaum myself instead of buying one that is colored before hand. They are nice looking but not what I was looking for when I bought my meerschaum. Thanks though.

E A Carey Europe were selling replicas recently but now sold out. Look on the website for a piccy.

I believe Altinok still sells Lee Van Cleef pipes.
