Poor Old Pipestud Needs Help Again

[pipestud]

Yes, I've reached the age where I'm starting to be more forgetful. That's why I am glad I am a member of a forum full of not only old guys like me but a bunch of youngsters with still fully functional minds.

So, I'm working on a Mastro de Paja this morning for eBay. I get to the nomenclature and see its a pipe made for a pipe group called M.A.P.S. I know I've seen that acronym somewhere before and probably even knew what it stands for. But, even after a strong cup of coffee and a pipe loaded with Five Brothers, it's not coming back to me. HELP PLEASE!

Possibly the Milwaukee Area Pipe Society ?

totally tongue-in-cheek, yes: "My All Purpose Smoke."

I think he has it. Date corresponds with the anniversary of their founding.

I’m a MAPS member and ask about it on Saturday. We had a POY but I don’t think it was this pipe. ?

Howdy Dave, here's a pic of the pipe itself. Don't know if this will help or not. Thanks!

Quite possible they made the pipe for a givaway or auction held by the club.

Nothing plain Jane about that poker sitter; it's right snappy. It's scary the information that Forums can provide.

pipestud, I subscribe to the attic theory of senior memory lapses. It isn't that older people are dysfunctional; it's that we have so much more information in the attic that it takes a long time to dig it out.

I have that subscription as well, Tom.

I like the way you think, MSO!

I'm sure glad you posted that link, 3rdguy. This pipe has an adapter in it and it is so well done that I just thought it was the tenon and would have left the info out of the auction regarding this pipe being able to take a filter.

And me. Of course, TBH, I was dysfunctional when I was a lot younger too ....
