USA, 1950s
An American classic from the 1950s, the era of rock’n’roll, big beautiful cars with loud radio receivers (is the series name a hint on the Oldsmobile Starfire? :-) ) and the blossoming of many American pipe brands. Nevertheless, this Dr. Grabow’s Starfire with its wire carved finish can’t be confused with any other pipe from that time.
The pipe markings are “STARFIRE \ Dr. Grabow”, “84”. The length is 12.5 cm (4.92″) and the bowl’s height is 4.6 cm (1.81″). External diameter of the bowl is 3.1 cm (1.22″), internal diameter is 1.9 cm (0.75″). The depth is 3.9 cm (1.54″) and this pipe weighs 27 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, aluminum screw.
