This is my fathers old pipe it is about 30 to 45 years old. I had another one but my kids decided to have a party when we were away and it was stolen. Needless to say I was very angry and it was also a gorgeous pipe.

It looks a lot older than that.  I'd have that thing appraised!

I like those old black forest style pipes. They almost look like they are thrown together though from whatever they had laying around in the shop, LOL. I saw one the other day for like $20 in an antique shop. Most of them are not really that expensive that I have seen, unless they are really ornate.

Does it still have the screen piece inside the top of it?

Wow... that has a little bit of everything with it. Very interesting pipe for sure. I've seen some of those listed on ebay. Its a shame that some moron stole the other one. Probably smoking some mj in it as I type this.  :-(

Interesting looking pipe.
I'm right 98% of the time.  Who cares about the other 3%?

Not sure but when I opened it up it still had half burnt leaf in it. I just look at to remember the old fishing days as a kid when we both froze our asses off and he had the pipe for a hand warmer and sometimes as a mosquito repellant - he gave me the thermos with tea and brandy. I brings back good memories. I moved the pipe from the open China cabinet to a more esteemed area in the leaf room guarded by the killer cats, moats, electric fence and laser mounted ray guns.  :lmao:
