If any of you Loewe collectors/enthusiasts out there could chip in with some information in regards to history, value, model shape (thinking Brazilian going from 1912 catalogue but can't really tell) etc. I'd really appreciate it.
Massive respect goes to my neighbour Isaac for his courage and willingness to gracefully clean up this beauty.
Apart from cleaning the build up of cake and must from sitting around for the last century, and giving the a polish to the collar and stem, no deep restoration work was done. We wanted to thoughtfully retain as much of the 'as is condition' as possible, being aware that it is a pipe that could probably be sent to a professional for restoration, either by myself or another collector/owner in the future
I have read all I can find on the usual pipe history sites and perused through these forums, but still feel like I am only scratching the surface Emil's legacy.
Peace
