Everyone interested in pipe history might want to take a look at this ebay auction:
http://cgi.ebay.com/LARGE-GROUP-O...2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318
You might also want to click on his other items link and see the other pipe stuff he's got. I only saw one DG item but there may be DG info in some of the other stuff.

| I do quite a bit of business with Paul at Funks junk. He is also associated with Hermitage Pipes. A decent and honest guy. I've bought some of his larger lots and I pay more per pipe with Paul then with sellers I don't know simply because he doesn't include broken shanks or cracked bowls in his lots and what he describes is what you actually get. |

Looks like it could be some more of Tom Dunn's collection. I have also done some business with this concern and got some good items at a fair price. --RJ-- |

| In keeping with the topic of this thread, I would like to call your attention to this pipe. It is a nice "zulu"/"yacht"/"cutty" or whatever you prefer to call it. I think this is the first Grabow Deluxe I've seen in this shape. I can't bid, so I hope someone here might get it. Looks like it might be a nice one. |

That is a NICE pipe!! I put it on my watch list but it will probably go higher than can spend!! I have two of these an Eldorado and a Grand Duke.

Yes, that is a fine looking pipe! If my hunch is right, based on the seller's description, it's a later model Chicago product with a push stem rather than threads.
I have five or six or so of this shape and it seemed to be fairly popular for some years. I have three old Linkman's Dr. Grabows in the WWII era carvings, a SELECT GRAIN and then at least one from the later North Carolina era, a SILVER DUKE. Some time back, and certainly before even more information came to light, I was so curious about this shape and the similarity between the SILVER DUKE (which looked convincingly OLDER than what it was) and the SELECT GRAIN, that I took some photos of them together. --RJ--

The older pipe looks quite a bit larger and looks to have less bend in the stem. Need a Lark?

Astute observations. The "1/8th" bend or whatever you might call it varies a bit from pipe to pipe, but the newer Grabows do seem to have a bit more of a bend. The pipe might be slightly larger, however, it may appear larger yet because it is in the foreground.
No, I think I have one LARK that I got on a lark -- it was nearly burned out when I got it. Smoked it a few times and then retired it to a Grabow display card. And, no, Ed, don't need any Mixture No. 79 either, but thanks for thinking of me. --RJ-- |
