About This Pipe
The year is 1938: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is released; The nylon bristle toothbrush is the first commercial product to be made with the material; Action Comics #1 is published featuring Superman; and this pipe was made in England.
Whenever I get the chance to describe such an old pipe, I like to find tidbits of history to remind us of things seemingly common today. Even though this original stem does have a hole in the top (an expert repair man can patch it), the remainder of the long canadian is quite beautiful. The men smoking this pipe sure witnessed a lot of history - good and bad - and the pipe still lives on to see the modern era.
