It’s a Maruman GL-67. They come up quite often on eBay in working condition for around $75-$100.

Thanks!

Sipping 2018 Samuel G Best Brown Flake (courtesy of @HawkeyeLinus) on an early forties Kaywoodie Relief Grain 40.
Five more hours (which includes treating my crew to lunch, then someone’s retirement shindig back in the yard) then I’m off until Next year

Good day all! Yesterday featured Peterson De Luxe Navy Rolls in a small Upshall Dublin. Today features Sutliff Cringle Flake 2022 in an Upshall P Bulldog with half-bent hex shank with matching saddle stem (trying a large conical bowl here).

Near the half way mark of this bowl of pre-2014 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Watching Mad Dog's last show of the year. Rizzo will do the rest until after New Year's.

Charatan’s Make, Lane Era, Bent Bulldog with comfort stem. Some Christmas Blend. Don’t let any talk of Algerian Briar being the best distract your enjoyment of pipes such as these. There was a good reason Charatan led the way in excellencefor decades. This pipe is not for sale nor will it be so ever. To quote Paul Harvey, “Good Day!”

Breaking in my new Manduela, coined “Mello Yellow” by @PaulRVA, with some Exclusive. This thing is prettier than expected! I like the idea of giving all my pipes nicknames.

I owned that same Trey Rice. Got rid of it because the stem was way too funneled for me. Does it smoke well to you? I’m sure many folks love that type of a smoke, just wasn’t for me. I’m very curious how you find it! I know Trey is a very talented carver, just that one was not for me.

That’s quite a good looking pipe, sir.

Thank you telescopes,
I hope all is finding you well and Happy Holidays.
You have me looking for a Marxman
so your posts aren’t going unnoticed. I’ve learned a lot from them.
