Tabac Vincent Manil Semois- Reserve Du Patron in an Altinay translucent meerschaum billiard
Great looking pipe! Haven't tried Telegraph Hill yet, it's on the listThis one goes out to @kitchnsink52 and all those dreaming of inexpensive pipes, don’t worry about it!
Smoking in an inexpensive 1931-1967 BBB Wyteway Billiard 1931-1967 with a vulcanite stem, GLP Telegraph Hill.
The pipe probably sold originally, I’m guessing for $7 upwards, to maybe $20, as an estate pipe, maybe today for $60$-$70.
Remember: ‘Price doesn’t always equate to a better smoker’!
For all the newer pipe smokers that haven’t seen this article, be sure to read; ‘The Myth of Brand and Maker in Pipesmoking’, by Dr. Fred Hanna.
Be well everyone!
