Samuel McLardy - a name probably better known for their clay pipes ... in business from 1865 - 1929 they must have churned out clay pipes in the millions, from fancy registered designs such as "The Footballer" - regular and Cadger size - to basic navvy or workman clays such as this trio

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, rainbow trout and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm a quarter of the way through this bowl of the soon-to-be released Wilke Irish Pipe Club in a full bend black pebble finish 2001 Rinaldo Lithos YY8 Titania Silver Line egg with a black acrylic tapered stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.
