Pipe Mystery!

[simong]

Despite it’s appearance, was it made in England?
I’m sure I’ve seen this shape somewhere before.

 

[LotusEater]

The shape and stain remind me of some of Georg Jensen’s pipes only with a much nicer stem.
I guess that just means it looks Danish. I have no idea what the “secret” is.

 

[pappymac]

I would smoke it.

 

[jguss]

He was a classic British shape guy all the way, no freehands for him.

And another guy that smoking didn’t kill.

I would smoke it.

Well, that's hardly a secret.

 

[sablebrush52]

The secret is that there is no secret.

I like it, very danish and if the bend was less reminds me of a Eltang cutty almost.

 

[newbroom]

without stating the obvious? the flow of the shape echoes the grain and the stem is a perfect compliment.
I could easily see it being the work of one of the Danish masters.

Is the secret that a 12 year old made this using only a table knife and a bit and brace? I kid, I kid.
It is a beautiful pipe.

OK, it's an estate Missouri Meerschaum, photoshopped by an expert.

There is a micro scratch at the shank/stem junction on the left flank. But I had to look very closely to find it. Other than that, I have no clue what is interesting George.

It's not Danish, nor is it a danish.

This pipe was grown, yes, grown, in a hydroponic rooftop garden located near the intersection of 72nd and Lex, sometime in August of 2006.

72nd and Lex! I used to live on 72nd between 3rd and Lexington!

You've been holding out on us. Why haven't you grown me a pipe like this?

 

[jpmcwjr]

What Jesse failed to mention is this: It's just a very advanced hologram.

 

[Ryan]

I think I have solved the mystery, Soylent Green is people!!!!

 

[kcghost]

Well, it is a gorgeous pipe. A bit too large for me I'd say. There's no telling who carved it.

 

[cosmicfolklore]

It does look Danish; however, I seem to remember Ian Walker carving one similar. But, since there is no dot on the stem, it couldn't be his. A few Italians also do a great job of working in a Danish style. Could be Danish, could be from somewhere else. if the stem was thin enough to snap in one hand, it would definitely be Danish.

 

[dunnyboy]

It takes a 9mm filter.
