From EBay description:

In the mid 1930's, Lewis Cowan, who had previously worked for English pipe maker Loewe & Co in London, came to America, and became one of 7 carvers for New York based Marxman pipes. At some point mid-century, Lewis left to start offering his own line to pipes. It's not hard to see some similar design aspects in both Marxman and Cowan's own line.

My Cowan has arrived, and I consider it a much “finer” grade of Marxman than Cowan was allowed to carve while he made actual Pre 54 Marxmans.

No fills, exquisite carving, hand made from rim to button.

Mine has highly figured Algerian briar as well,,,,for Algerian briar.
