This weekend I was spending time with my dad. We were looking through his photo album from Vietnam, 1968-1969. I about fell on the floor when I saw a picture of him with a pipe in his mouth. He had totally forgotten that he smoked a pipe while at base camp that year. Even though he knows I am a pipe collector, he had forgotten that he had smoked a pipe once. Soon after seeing the picture he immediately remembered smoking Prince Albert in “the red can “. That led to a very long conversation about some of his other Vietnam memories.
So here is the pipe he was smoking. Just a typical basket pipe I assume. But if anybody has solid information on which brand this might be that would be appreciated. I am going to either track one down or have one commissioned and then put it together with his Vietnam Zippo and an antique tin of Prince Albert and give it to him as a present.
