Probably the 'cutty' pipe that belonged to the police inspector that investigated the 'Ripper' murders and another one that belonged to a famous Kentucky Derby jockey winner.

I’d like so see a pic of the Ripper cutty.

You're killing me with that blowfish, Duane.

Yep! Sums it up for me too.

Love that Geiger as well. Tasty tasty Birdseye!

Thanks Jesse! While second in my collection to a pipe my daughter got for me, a 904, it's the crown jewel of the bunch!

It is in the group photo of about thirty of my 'cutty' pipes. I will try photo bucket and see what I can do or I can take a picture with my IPhone and post if someone wants to PM how to instructions.

Simons' ripper pipe:

That is just so cool. Now that's a pipe with some real history :clap:

 

[condorlover1]

I'll dig out the Kentucky Derby Winners Pipe and letter from the relative if anyone is overly interested and Jessie can be prevailed upon to post the pictures for me. Those are the only two famous pipes I own. Not exactly exciting but there you go stuff wasn't that exciting back in the latter part of the 19th century.

 

[sablebrush52]

Simon,
You send them, I'll post them.

The history alone makes them priceless.

At that price, you should get two of them.

 

[anthonyrosenthal74]

Absolutely lovely pipe, Fish.

The history alone makes them priceless.

Agreed!
