The link showing the restoration was very interesting and you now have a very unique pipe which has history and character. A good thing you did to save its life !

Just finished some GH Dark Flake in a medium Kaywoodie billiard and moving on to Wessex Curly Block in a 1921 Civic Senate. Having a drop of Jura Rum Cask and a bottle of Theakston’s Old Peculiar ale while watching the Peaky Blinders.

I helped a guy change a wheel earlier today, he obviously didn’t know his arse from his elbow and the @&¥+ just got in the car and drove off without so much as a thank you. His ignorance I can forgive but bad manners …. I’ve no time for people like that.

I don't own any really interesting historical pipes outside of that one and a meerschaum 'cutty' given to the winning jockey of the Kentucky Derby way back when. I have the letter from the surviving relative who sold me the pipe for $20. My friend Weezel had a pipe that belonged to Frank Vizetelly the illustrator for the Illustrated London News who covered the South during the civil war. I don't know who has it now since it wasn't among his pipes when I inherited them but it was quite interesting and had a rather fascinating back story.

That’s the stuff I love to hear. History passed down and wondering who had this pipe before me and what it has been through. Thanks for share that’s really spectacular.

Thanks for sharing the article too, nice read and the pipe, she’s a historical beauty.

I find it such a wondrous thing, that we get to hold such history. But also at the same time, sad, that we may never get to know the hands that originally made it, and those lives that smoked it, all those stories.

You are now the keeper of it’s legacy, take care of it, and Enjoy it!

Maybe one day some of the story may unfold.

What, nothing historical?

I thought you own the detective’s pipe that worked on solving Jack the Ripper, who also caught him?

What are you talking about, I was never caught.
