I think I need to make tampers out of some toasted old coyote calls and brass!
I only have two American-made pipes currently, a Mark Balkovec freestyle (blowfish?) and a Rolando Negoita cherrywood:

Outside of my cobs, didn’t really have any American made pipes until today. Got this Boswell in and looking forward to a nice relaxing bowl this evening:
One of my two Phil Rivara pipes. Great smoking little pipe, relatively deep narrow chamber which I like.
I posted this NOS LHS Sterncrest Lovat in another thread
Post-WW II production.
Original price $7.50
Handsome pipe with sterling Silver band.
Chimney condenser rather than the more common metal stinger.
Sitter.
The button is very slim.
Light weight makes clenching easy

I have many many American-made pipes, but I don't know if you can get any more American than Mark Tinsky from American Smoking Pipe Company!
Man, ngl I wish I picked up more of Bruces pipes while he was still with us. I have one and it's fantastic. Seems like too many pipe makers go too quickly :/
For the money, you can't do much better than Mark's pipes and he's a heck of a nice guy, too
Nice! I have one of his flying Dutchman’s too. He’s making a diplomat shape for me currently

I’ve gotten some more info on this pipe. While I’ve had no luck on the marking, Scott over at BlueRoomBriars did let me know “Our best guess is that he was part of a group of Arizona based hobbyists that started in the 60s and 70s that made freehands and were partial to acrylic stems”, which makes sense as my father moved us here to AZ in 1970.
He continued, “Andrew Kovacs, Horrace DeJarnett, Kim Kendall and several other pipe makers were involved in this group.”
Any info that anyone would have to add would be appreciated highly!

Dang that’s a looker! Hope you can find out who made it.
Thanks. I’m not a fan of the gold stem, I’ve got the perfect virgin honey/amber swirl stem that I need to have bored a little bigger, fit, and bent on hand. Thought I could do it, but don’t have the proper tools just yet.
My only American pipe.
