SEARCHING FOR ROPP PIPE

[pjtshopcraft]

If anyone can help with a name or a picture or anything I will love you!!!

I collect Ropp pipes, but not briar. I love the history of Ropp's Cherrywood series and any other of their odder/older pipes. I found a picture years ago of a multiple colored pipe, it was a multi layered composite bowl with a meerschaum insert. From what I can tell it was made by layering plywood(or a stronger equivalent) with colored sheet in between. the block is then carved into a pipe and given a meerschaum insert to protect the glued together bowl.

I haven't been able to find a picture in years let alone a listing. If anyone has one, or even has a picture would love some proof that this wasn't my imagination!

I don't believe you're allowed to post in the buy/sell/trade forum yet.

Yeah, unfortunately for the OP, this will likely get deleted.
Stick around though and you can get answers to all kinds of Q's over time.........

I looked through Pipedia, Pipephil, and Google images, and found nothing that matches your description. Best of luck with your search.

Are you sure it was a Ropp!? The only pipes that I am aware of that come close to your description but neither have a meerschaum bowl liner are this one and another very similar pipe (Volcano) held by a member of this forum.
