Recent addition to my pipe collection. Pretty good smoker and easy to clean.
Artisans make cob, meerschaum, morta, briar, olive, and maple bowls. Hoping I can talk one of them into a catlinite one.
1950s Beattie Jet Lighter purchased NOS a few years ago. The only lighter I'll use.
Only when there's no more tobacco left to smoke like any other tall pipe.
Some fear them thinking they are a jet flame torch but they're just a soft flame jet.
Well looky here.... I managed to bag another American made early Falcon off a certain auction site! Not really "deep cleaned, waxed and polished" as it was claimed, but it is now after I have spent a couple of evenings de-gunking the stem and polishing off the oxidisation. Not for smoking this one, for my collection. I am figuring this one to be fairly early again, the stamp under the bowl is just '1' and it has the American 'FALCON' stamp to the rear. 1950s? It's in reasonable condition, but well loved and clearly from a clencher! 
Nope. I can't do it. I tried. I priced it up. I advertised it but I just can't do it!!
So here's my Falcon and associated tobacciana collection for you all to gawp at. Some bigger pieces are not in this cabinet and neither are my regular smokers.

Might as well finish my show and tell...
The bigger bits are a 1960s portable display case, I guess either for a sales rep or temp shop display? Nice and well made anyway. And second is a 100th anniversary tobacco jar from Ogden's St Bruno, Liverpool, England.

And finally my smoking pipes which I actually use on my 1950s stand. Standard Falcon with rustic Dover bowl, Falcon Extra with walnut lined finish Dover bowl, Falcon Hunter with Hunter Dover bowl and a 1970s Falcon Bantam, I restored, with new Bantam rustic bulldog bowl as the original bowl was shot.
That's my entire collection!!

Oh my goodness, I do believe I have a new favorite pipe! 
I received a straight Falcon Extra stem in the mail today and set it up Jack Hargreaves style with a Bantam Dublin bowl, and it's just the most beautifully simple and elegant little thing. I love the chocolate brown color of the stem and how incredibly light it is, coming in at only 1.1 ounces altogether with the Bantam bowl, and like all my Falcons it's about the best smoker I could ask for. It's just perfect!

@ Skippy Piper I recently picked up one that could be your pipe's larger brother I got a snifter bowl, and I love it. No matter what I stuff in there it smokes and taste great.
A nice little block meerschaum bowl for my Falcon Extra stem just arrived in the mail today from CPW Pipes in Turkey, so I figured I'd show it off!
