***What Are You Smoking, June 2020?***

More likely from a range designed as a gift to a special friend similar to "My chum" on a clay pipe case (which I've lost) and "My Sweetheart" on a cased pair of the cutest briars I've ever seen:-

As for the age and manufacturer:
As far as I know meers of the period didn't have maker's marks on them with any details printed on the fitted cases making it difficult to ascribe a maker once the pipe has become separated from its case.
However, judging by the shape of the bowl the pipe is from the 1880s and the country of manufacture has got to be Austria possibly by Ludwig Hartmann & Eidam (Son), Wien (Vienna) founded in 1829.

Similar shape:-

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am a quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2013 Stonehaven in a 1998 smooth medium bend Peterson Limerick 69 with a nickel band with a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. It's in the mid-80s today, and I'll do more walking when it cools a bit.

I spent a good long time smoking little else but No. 400 Flake. It makes for such a pleasant bowlful.

It's comforting to know we have many years left to enjoy pipe smoking! nana
