Halfdan, I make my own Mead, which would also be good in a drinking horn. I should try making one. Wish I could send you some mead, and some tobacco. But I can just imagine how much taxes, customs, and shipping THAT would entail! Enjoy those reenactments@FurCoat I've got a Viking drinking horn and like to drink Black Sheep ? Ale ? in it
That's very cool ... a more compact version of these two examples ...I found this Baron’s Patent Pipe Filler which I brought out of curiosity more than anything else. It’s actually worked ok much to my surprise.
Anyhoo I’m gonna try it with some 1820 Flake in this short GBD reject Canadian which was owned by a chap that worked for GBD from the 1930’s - late 50’s View attachment 128517
The game is over, the guests have gone, and I have enough taco beef and hotdogs to last me until the end of the month.
Having a last bottle of Ale and a shot of Rum to wind down with some Black Frigate in the new Gambier Clay with amber mouthpiece.
Are there any Gambier aficionados that can tell me if the silver band is a repair or did they often obscure the writing on the shank? View attachment 128457 View attachment 128459
Do you remember all the old meerschaum 'cutty' pipes in the display case at Inderwicks on Carnaby Street? I have often wondered what became of them. I purchased all the meerschaum repair tools from them before they moved.That's very cool ... a more compact version of these two examples ...

Definitely a repair giving a new lease of life to a broken clay ... looks like you're just missing the DEPOSEE
A couple of examples from the UK with the same arrangement -
Should read T.MILO / CUTTY PIPE
(Theophilus Milo operated from Finch Lane in the City of London, between 1860 and 1870) ...

... and INDERWICK & Co. / CUTTY PIPE
(Inderwick & Co was founded in 1797 by John Inderwick, becoming one of the earliest tobacconists in London. Their warehouse was situated 58 Princes St, Leicester Square. When they decided to sell their own brand of pipe they got some of the top pipe makers like Comoys to make them. They incorporated on the 22nd October 1934 and the company was finally wound up in early 2000. In the 1960’s they opened a shop at 45 Carnaby Street. Today the shop is a clothing store.)

The CREME GAMBIER stamp on your pipe dates it to 1864 - 1873 after which date the stamp changed so it's an early one.
Different maker (Louis Fiolet) but your pipe would've been like this before it got broken
